Client (female) needs to move home. Lives with adult son (who works). Enquired how much HB would get for 2 bed property she had identified. Was told:-
1. Property too big - would be restricted to 1 bed rent level; and
2. NDD would be applied to the 1 bed level for the son.
Is this in accordance with Regs. please? If so, it would seem to imply that the rent should be restricted for any claimant with adult ND in the house, or a dependent child who then becomes an adult and thus an ND. Can this be right?
