Hi,You will need to tell UC that your daughter is no longer in full time education if you were claiming the child element of UC and this will stop. Other than that her income will not affect your UC payments.

Thank you

Hi @pigeon55,
If you rent your property and get the Housing element of UC, it is possible that this could be affected by your daughter moving in.
If you get a disability benefit such as PIP then they would deduct anything from your benefit.Joanne

Non dependent deductions under UC housing element are much more generous than housing benefit was. If the non dependents are under the age of 21 there won't be any deductions, even if the claimant doesn't claim PIP daily living/DLA mid/high rate care.

Hi,
thanks @poppy123456.
You are quite right. I was just letting @pigeon55 know of the potential impact. Forewarned is forearmed!.
@pigeon55-sorry, I meant to put that if you get a disability benefit they would NOT deduct anything!

Receiving this will reduce your UC payments because it's classed as Income.

Yes they reduce my payment as I recive this benifit.
