Esa and daughters u/c and lwrca

Tilly1234

Hi any advise would be grateful my partner is on the old legacy esa we have our daughter living with us she's 19 and claims universal credit she's just been awarded lwrca we've told council tax she's on universal credit but do we need to tell them she's on lwrca I phoned other day to tell them she has low pip the 24 pound a week and the women said it won't affect our claim will it be the same for this

I doubt it will make any difference but because each council can make it's own rules for Council Tax Reduction it may be prudent to keep them informed.

Does this also include her pip that's a weight off my mind was worrying all night about that

Hi @Tilly1234!  I think it might be worthwhile to let the Council Tax team know about your daughters LCWRCA.
