Non resident parents are generally entitled to the one bedroom rate only. Because the children are classed as adequately housed with the resident parent.
You can apply for a DHP to top up UC Housing Element, but any award is temporary and a new application would need to be made each time it runs out, with no guarantee of success as each Local Authority has a fixed pot of money available.
