Thank you everyone.0

Not relevant for OP, but I note guidance for UC appears to be different. By default it appears to divide the rent equally amongst those liable to pay but gives the DM discretion to vary this if it is reasonable to do so. (I think it may have been this guidance I recalled when I first replied.)
See Advice to Decision Makers F3197. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/890313/admf3.pdfInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
