This thread here from the OP back in April suggests they are claiming ESA and PIP and the non dependant hasn't long moved back in.

OP are you still claiming PIP, if so does that include the daily living award? If you are then there shouldn't be any non dependant deductions with your housing benefit.

If you're claiming ESA what group are you? WRAG or Support Group?

Hi poppy12345,
This is actually my friend's account (& who told me about this UC thing). Hopefully this is alright with MoneySavingExpert. My son has been living with me for years. But thank you very much for asking!

Oh i see. Perhaps you should make your own account rather than sharing with someone else.

You should only be self isolating if you have symptoms of Covid19, otherwise you're self isolating through choice. All other advice you've been given is correct.

(As a slightly off-topic aside: nothing wrong with trying to keep safe!)

I never said there was.

How old is your non -dependent? If he is aged under 21 there would be no non dependent deduction on UC.

I’d forgotten that.
