in Benefits and income

I am a single parent, my youngest child is still at school in full time education. My oldest son has now come back to live with me and has started a full time job. His own UC claim has now been closed down and they know he is now full time working. He does receive PIP as he has severe adhd issues. I also get PIP due to disabilities. I get the housing element in my UC paid direct to my landlord. How will my UC be affected now and do I need to notify UC or will they link it from his own previous account. Im so confused

    Your claims won't be linked in any way.

    You do need to tell UC he is now living with you.

    Your own UC will not be effected if you get Daily Living PIP. This will prevent non dependant deductions to your Housing Element.
