Non-Dependant Deductions for Housing Benefit 2.

Frustered

Hi Everyone.

From what I have understood so far, currently:

Working less than 16 hours means that £14.55 is deducted from Housing Benefit.

Working 16 hours or more AND earning between £129 to £188.99 means that £33.40 is deducted from Housing Benefit.

However, is my understanding of the following correct also?

Working less than 16 hours AND earning between £129 to £188.99 means that £14.55 is deducted from Housing Benefit.


In relation to Non-Dependant Deductions from Housing Benefit, is working 15 hours and 59 minutes classed as working less than 16 hours or is any rounding off done? If it is rounded off to 16, then how many minutes exactly would it be to be classed as under 16 hours?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1 second under is still under 16 hours...there's no rounding.

Thanks HappyMJ.

So I assume my understanding of the three statements made are all correct.

Thanks.
