Trans children and bedroom allowance

I've previously started a thread about my new role as a work coach. (Still in training).

Today we discussed the bedroom allowance for UC purposes. I asked my trainer if children that identified as trans and would usually be expected to share a room with the sibling they shared their original sex with, would be eligible for the extra bedroom allowance.

He didn't know. I've googled and googled but can't find anything.

This isn't a trans Vs anybody debate and I apologise if this offends anybody.

I'd like to know if any of you have or know of trans identifying children and if it affected the bedroom allowance for UC purposes?

It’s probably just not been an issue yet.

Given the current climate I think it would be discriminatory not to award it.
