    I work out that they would get £17.44 Housing Benefit.

    Income - £419.88
    Applicable Amount - £292.86
    Excess Income - £127.02

    Eligible Rent - £100.00
    Minus 65% of excess income - £82.56
    Equals - £17.44 Housing Benefit

    And if they got DLA Care then that would only increase by £25.90 to £43.34 p/w.

    You forgot the disregard of £27.10 to be added to applicable amount or deducted from excess income...
    Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.
