housing benefit

can housing benefit use my sons pip to calculate my benefit I might add that my son is downs syndrome and receives the high rate of pip for care and mobility he has recently gone on to universal credit and housing benefit has added both of his benefits together and lowered my housing benefit

I may be wrong but I was always led to believe that PIP is not counted as income when calculating housing benefit. I would give your council a ring tomorrow and enquire.It May be an oversight it can happen or it may be because it’s not your PIP but your sons.
it Cant hurt to check.
