yes, unless one of these apply...Non-dependant deduction not due
5.503 The circumstances when no deduction is made differ between HB and CTB.
Housing Benefit
5.504 A non-dependant deduction is not made in the following circumstances
• claimant or their partner is
- blind or treated as blind, and is or was registered as blind by the LA, or
- receiving
~ the care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) at any rate, or
~ Attendance Allowance (AA)
• non-dependant is
- living or staying with the claimant but, in the LA’s opinion, the non-dependant’s normal
home is elsewhere, see Deciding the non-dependant’s normal home below
- receiving a Youth Training allowance paid in connection with a Youth Training Scheme,
eg YTS or Work-based Learning for Young Adults courses
- a full-time student. For the definition of full-time student, see C2 Student claims later
in this manual. Normal rules apply during the summer vacation if the student is in
remunerative work
- aged 16 or 17 years
- a hospital in-patient for more than 52 weeks
- a prisoner
- aged less than 25 and receives IS, JSA(IB) or the assessment phase of ESA(IR)
Depending on how much they earn, as the work is below 16hrs a week they may be entitled to JSA which as above, would mean no deduction.
Otherwise, presuming they earn under £124pw the HB deduction would be £11.45pw0 -
Yes in principle. It would not apply if your son were disabled or if he is in receipt of income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance or income-related employment and support allowance (ESA). Current rate of deduction for a low earner is £11.45 pw.geminilady wrote: »My youngest son is leaving full time education and has a part time job 10 hours a week will they make a deduction for him? he is twenty“Official CAB Representative
