Housing Benefit & Council Tax Question

Good afternoon. My daughter has been away at uni for the last 3yrs. Her out of term address was here with me.
All this time I kept housing/council tax dept aware of where she was.
Now she is just about to finish uni, and will be coming home to live full time. She has no job to go to. So will be signing on and claiming JSA.
Will my housing and council tax benefit stay the same as it is now? Or will it change in any way? I am claiming ESA.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

You will need to inform them that she has returned to live with you and provide details of her low income. I assume she will sign on for JSA?
Check out non-dependent's contribution - this is what she is expected to contribute to CT and housing.The person who has not made a mistake, has made nothing0 -
if she receives JSA & is under 25 then there shouldnt be any change to your HB/CTB if shes not in the assessment at present;Housing Benefit
5.504 A non-dependant deduction is not made in the following circumstances
• claimant or their partner is
- blind or treated as blind, and is or was registered as blind by the LA, or
- receiving
~ the care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) at any rate, or
~ Attendance Allowance (AA)
• non-dependant is
- living or staying with the claimant but, in the LA’s opinion, the non-dependant’s normal
home is elsewhere, see Deciding the non-dependant’s normal home below
- receiving a Youth Training allowance paid in connection with a Youth Training Scheme,
eg YTS or Work-based Learning for Young Adults courses
- a full-time student. For the definition of full-time student, see C2 Student claims later
in this manual. Normal rules apply during the summer vacation if the student is in
remunerative work
- aged 16 or 17 years
- a hospital in-patient for more than 52 weeks
- a prisoner
- aged less than 25 and receives IS, JSA(IB) or the assessment phase of ESA(IR)0 -

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

The above replies are correct and complete- nothing to add as far as I can see.0
