Housing benefit: Is mother's disabled son still a dependant if he works?

rtcw

Deleted....

nannytone_2

is he also in non advanced, full time education?

rtcw

No. Just for clarification, he is an adult.

nannytone_2

then he isn't her dependant

rtcw

I think I've muddled water somewhat. So, the son is classified as a non-dependant but the deductions does not apply, is that correct?

The NDD exemption would only apply if the HB claimant or their partner is in receipt of DLA/ PIP.

nannytone_2

as above.

i can't fi nd any reference to a disabled non dependant affecting the non dependant deduction.
it has to be the claimant or the cllaimants partner than is disabled

rtcw

Yeah, that cleared it up.

Thanks!
