Pip enhanced daily living /housing benefit

hi my brother is 48 and been DLA for 8 yrs he gets 55.00 weekly and 250.00 every 2 weeks on dla .im his carer i get 62 aweek and around 80 every 2 weeks. he got pip claim form and we filled it in then received a date for a home assessment for pip.that was 4weeks ago.today we received the DWP letter he has got enhanced daily living component and mobility which is good news we keep his car .the letter showing the points he been awarded shows he got 17points I struggling to follow if he loses any benefits or not. I got another issue with local council .me and my brother lived in private rented flat until December myself and Mick were joint Tennant's with £0 rent to pay.when local council offered us 1 property only we didn't think we had a choice to refuse it .so on the day of signing for the house I received a call from council saying they could not have my disabled brother on the tenancy agreement. I asked if that would affect us she said d NO.Now 3 months on the council keep sending bills for rent .the rent is 85.00 pw housing benefit only cover 55.00 of that with 15 weeks at 30.00 to find ..I know they Have been very sly and I feel this is wrong .I read on here that pip enhanced daily living component means we are not liable for non dependants charges?is this right and if so what is the best way to deal with council as they not wanting to remove the non dependent charges .I hope this makes sense as someone who's knows about this subject can help I give all info if any missing

Hi John and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The enhanced daily living component of PIP will pay £82.30 per week, the mobility component will continue to be paid to Motability for the car.

The CA criteria have not changed so you should continue to receive this as long as your circumstances have not changed (ie you are still earning and/or working less than the allowed limit).

I'm afraid we do not specifically deal with tenancy/council issues.I wonder if the problem is that you are now the lead (only?) tenant named on the lease? Shelter can be very helpful in these situations or your LA should have an advisor.

Thanks in anticipation of your future co-operation in keeping all posts relating to your brother's PIP here in one place

yes i know im the only name on the tennancy agreement ,they SAID it wouldt affect me or my brother and i went along with it .now they want 30.00 x 15 weeks i feel they have treated us unfairly. i will check with shelter thanks but i want the council to change it to a joint tennancy and remove the fees..on pip daily living enhanced rate i read that it " If
you are awarded PIP daily living component then there will be no non dependentdeduction for any family member living in your household" but is this fact
