    If you are the tenant and receive any rate of the care component of DLA then your HB will not be affected by your daughter's earnings.

    Who is the tenant?
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.
  • Hi I'm the tenant myself
    thanks
