Shared Residence

If you are thinking of applying for Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit and you have another adult over the age of 18 living in your home that is not your partner, this person could affect the amount of benefit you are entitled to depending on their circumstances. We describe this type of person as a non-dependant.

If you are the only person in the property who is liable to pay Council Tax, but you have one or more adults living with you, who is on a low income, you may be entitled to Second Adult Rebate.
