Esa and HB

Possibilities

My mother wants to know whether my Income related ESA in support group is counted as income in regards to her housing benefit.
Basically when they total the household income, do they include my ESA payments ?
An answer to this would be most helpful !!!
Thanks !!

i presume she is the tenant?

the fact that she receives PIP means that there will be no non dependant deduction made from housing benefit regardless of how much your income is.
