Non-dependant deductions
If you have any other adults living with you (over the age of 18) like grown-up children, we may have to reduce the Housing Benefit we can pay you.
The amount we deduct will depend on the non-dependant's circumstances, for example, if they are working, how many hours they work and how much they earn.
