UNIVERSAL CREDIT " Non Depend rule confusion" RENT

[BACKTOWORK321]

Hi all

I am on UC my daughter lives with me also on UC and has 2 children under 2 UC told me she is a non depend adult and needs to pay £73 a month in rent, However looking on several website such as turn to us citizen advice ect they all state and if an adult is living with you and has children under the aged on 5 they are NOT classed as a non depend and there for do no have to pay the £73 monthly rent charge, I have spoke to someone on UC about this and they told me no this is incorrect and she has to pay the money towards the rent regardless of her having kids under 5.

Is anyone in the same position or know any who is and can clarify for me which is correct

Thank you x

Because your DC is not under 19 and in education , she is classed as able to work , so non dependant.
Since she is getting benefits she has to pay you rent.

She would claim the rent payment in her benefits.

She is living there and the rent is payable, she isnt your dependent.

But she the updates her claim.
