Good morning/afternoon/evening all! I’ve come to rack your brains :eek:
I am currently unemployed and living with my Mum and little brother. We, like so many people, are going through some tough times where she is claiming income support (Near death experience). This is where the question comes in... Mum is the homeowner, I am an adult actively job hunting but struggling.. If I start to claim universal credit will this affect her benefits? Ie Council tax, income support, child benefits etc
Please please please all of your knowledge will be extremely appreciated and welcomed.
Regards, A desperate friend in need :money:

If you claim Universal Credit it will not affect your mother’s benefits.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0

Hi. The only way I can see this affecting her benefits is if you are 19 or younger and she is claiming a child benefit for you.Amount left to pay on house = 64,400.
Savings buffer = 1,028.75 of 2415.
Next large expense = 159 of 483.0
