Hi. Sorry for some help/advice as i am struggling with understanding the bedroom tax and how it affects us with our daughter in uni. We live in wales and our daughter started uni in bath at end of last Sept. I posted off a letter to my local council telling them her address etc, as we claim counciltax/housing benefit as my husband is claiming ESA as he has been long term ill. 2 weeks ago i received a letter requesting proof of child benefit for her so i went to local office and explained that I sent a letter last sept stating her address etc and they said they didn't receive it and now that she is in uni i need to start paying bedroom tax immediately with arrears backdated to Sept. They then suspended our HB pending further info so icwent back to office to provide it. They were asking how often she been home which is only a few days as its a long way and if she was coming home for holidays (at the time i thought she wasn't but now she is). I have received an ammended bill for HB which states £11 off our benefit for bedroom tax and another £11 taken off for arrears. Speaking to my father in law, he said that we shouldn't be paying bedroom tax because this is still her permanent home (she is registered to vote here) so i am trying to find out if this is correct? She has been living in her student loans and had not claimed any benefits and is returning to uni for her second year in sept. Will her coming home affect our housing benefit at all as well? Thanks in advance for your help :)
