    Hi @Nicky56 and welcome to the community! It won't affect your PIP. Your housing element will be affected as your daughter will be classed as a nnon-dependant and expected to contribute to rent. There are exceptions to this though. Here's some information about it https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/benefits/universal_credit_housing_cost_contributions

    @Rachel_Scope Because OP is on Daily Living PIP that prevents a non dependant deduction being made to UC Housing Element.

    If your Housing Element goes up due to your bedroom allowance increasing, your Transitional Protection will reduce by a corresponding amount, this is permanent and won't be reinstated if your Daughter subsequently moves out again.

    Oh thanks for that @Kimi87. I'll make a note of it for next time.
