children shared residence
Tue 05-Aug-08 11:36 AM

If a court orders shared residence, could both parents claim housing benefit? 3 children different sexes, so 3 bedrooms. A big difference in price from 1 bed entitlement for Dad.

I know that they couldn't in the past, just checking that there aren't any recent changes/decisions out there.
