Transitional protection

Hi my friend is moving into a property more suitable to his needs due to COPD stage 4 and it has everything he needs on the ground floor. A guy he knows has been homeless sofa surfing and he's tennant 2 on the lease . Both are on transitional cover due to moving from legacy benefits they aren't a couple just sharing a house will this affect their benefits?

If the amount of Housing Element they qualify for increases for either person, their Transitional Protection will reduce by a corresponding amount.
