A friend is on enhanced PIP for daily living and mobility, receiving palliative care. She lives alone, is housebound, on home oxygen and has carers who come in 3 times every day.
She has an adult nephew who has just lost his mum (her sister) and wants to come to stay with her for a week.
Will she get into trouble with DWP if she allows this?

No, people on benefits are allowed to have visitors to stay.0 -
And PIP is not a mean stead- benefit if he were to live with her, though other things like Council Tax might be affected.0

I do not have a good memory lately but I believe? if you are in receipt of PIP and do get a council tax reduction it is not changed due to someone coming to live with you, other benefits may be as I have no idea of means tested benefits.0 -

You are correct, there are no non-dependant deductions in Council Tax Reduction or Housing benefit if the claimant is in receipt of daily Living part of PIP.
However someone visiting for a week would make no difference anyway as they do not normally reside with the claimant.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
