Im 17 wanting to get a part time job would it affect my mothers housing benefits?

Thank you, I did not know that. I sit corrected.

If you're still in full time education, your mum will be claiming child benefit and child tax credits so there will be no change in rent as you are still classed as a dependant.

It's only when you are classed as a non - dependant that you would have to pay towards the rent. That said, it would also depend on if your mum was claiming certain disability related benefits at that point

So, kawazakirider, did you get the job? If so, are you enjoying it?

Hope so.

I think this is what my Mam is doing for my board. I've seen her secretly trying to stash it away.
