hi

my wife is on esa
and has been award pip standard daily rate and enhanced mobility rate

we have a non dependant at home that is working and pays towards rent

will my son still have to pay towards rent

and will we still have to pay bedroom tax as we have spare room

thank you

Why would you stop charging your son rent? That decision is unrelated to the benefits your wife recieves. Surely without him you'd have 2 spare rooms?

Does your wife need a room for equipment or an overnight carer?

hi


the rent he pays goes to the housing association


not to us






thank you

his portion of the rent should stop because there is no non dependant deduction when the tenant/tenants partner receives any rate of PIP care.
the bedroom tax will still apply unless you can prove you need the extra room for an overnight carer or bulky equipment
