    Hi @goofy567, welcome to the community. Sorry you haven't had a reply to this yet!

    If you aren't receiving any help with your housing costs from UC, your adult son moving in will not affect your payments. He is technically seen as a separate household to yourself, so there shouldn't be any issues.

    Hope you'll enjoy being part of the community ☺️
