So I received a letter today regarding my housing benefit i have a 28 year old son who lives with me , but works away and is home between 2-4 days per month i dont receive money from him as he has to pay for lodgings i notified dss when he started work but was told because he is only home 2-4 days per month my benefit wouldn't be affected . Im a bit worried now as because of covid my son has had to claim u.c and i have received a letter now saying his previous employment will now affect the benefit i received is this correct . I thought id done everything correct i receive pip and esa and have a carer . T I A

My son is now living with me full time and claiming universal credit x when he was previously employed he stayed at lodgings and worked away coming home 2-4 days s month0

If you are in receipt of Daily Living part of PIP there should be no non dependant deductions regardless of your son’s circumstances.
