Are you in a private rented property at the moment? Who was in the property before? was it just you or do you have a family too? Also what is your current income - are you working or on JSA/IS/IB etc?:j0

I'm not sure about the housing benefit side but if he is over 18 then you will not be a single adult living in the property. So you'll lose your 25% discount and possibly all of your council tax benefit.0

The answer you have is correct, are you sure you understand the meaning of it though?
As a non-dependant his earnings will mean he is able to contribute towards your housing costs, so your HB will be reduced irrespective of whether he pays you anything or not.
Council tax - not 100% sure how that will affect you other than it will in some way.0 -
