Im on universal credit (low income)
My daughter became sick with this really really rare illness, it took years to get diagnosed.
She lost her job because of this and is unable to work, and ive been supporting her. She lives with me.
Were in a difficult situation because
She is not sick enough yet for pip she believes, But also too sick to work. Plus with us waiting for treatment, doctor says with it, theres a chance her health will improve and she will be able to work again
My question is,
Do i tell universal credit she is a non dependant adult? Because she doesnt pay rent and i support her?
And how will this affect my universal credit payment?
right now Universal credit counts her as paying the rent.
Three people on tenancy agreement, 1400 rent, universal credit assumes she pays her share and splits into 3
Thank you
