I'm on PIP and SDP. Will my daughter staying in my home for 3 weeks affect my benefits?

I have a question about sdp, I am on pip and sdp, my daughter who is a non dependant stayed in my home for 3 weeks will that affect my benefits?

No, having non dependents staying for a few weeks will not affect the SDP.

thank you for replying. I’m just concerned that my daughter has told the council she was living with me for 4 weeks while she was waiting to move into her property for 1 month

How long exactly was she staying with you for because first you said 3 weeks and then you said 4 weeks. I can’t advise you correctly without all the correct information.

ej77

sorry sorry it was 4 weeks

poppy123456

It won't affect your SDP because it was temporary. If it was any longer it may have been different.

Thank you you’ve put my mind at rest x
