Hello,

I am a UC claimant who is classed as LCRWA.

I am the outright owner of the property I live in, so I do not have any housing benefit because I do not pay rent.

I will be having a non-dependent move in with me long term (family friend) who works full time earning over £30k a year.

What will the effects be on the UC?

Thanks for your time and any input you might have.

    Non dependent deductions would only apply to someone claiming for help with the rent. As you own your own home then there will be nothing to deduct. 

    If this person is a friend and not a partner then it will not affect your UC. 

    If you’re claiming single person discount on your council tax then you would lose that.
