Non-Dependants
If you have friends, relatives or anyone over the age of 18 living in your home, you may get less Housing Benefit. These
people are called Non- Dependants and an amount may be taken out of your benefit for each non-dependant who
lives in your home.
Non-Dependants do not include:
- Your partner
- A child you get child benefit for
- People under 18 years of age
- People in full time education
- People on Youth Training Schemes
No money will be taken out of your benefit for non-dependants if:
- You get attendance allowance
- You get the care part of the disability living allowance
- You are registered blind
