'Other people' section of Universal Credit Claim

Hi, hope someone can help. My severely disabled child is leaving specialist school this year and as they are unable to work I need to make a UC claim on their behalf.

When I search online for this the AI Google answer says 'For Universal Credit purposes, your parents and brother are considered members of your household, not "other people" to be included in the "other people" section of your claim. '

But I don't know whether to trust it.

Dont fully trust AI Google...
