    Hi

    I have had a referral regarding a young couple. She is in receipt of IS and is 18yrs old. He is a care leaver who will be 18 in July 07. They have just moved into a Housing Associaton property. How would a HB claim work as the LA are still responsible to pay for him until he is 18. The tenancy is in her name. He can’t be classed as a Non-dep as they are a couple. Would a 50 / 50 split be applicable even though they don’t hold a joint tenancy?

    Any help would be appreciated 😀

    They are a couple. She is the tenant and getting a passporting benefit so all her and her partners income and capital must be disregarded.

    In other words you must pay her as the claimant full HB/CTB on the basis of 100% of the rent
