Inheritance? was created by Judy
My friend has inherited her parents house, but because they were ill and old it is totally uninhabitable, no electric, no gas, holes in roof etc. She gets housing benefit for her housing association flat. She is severely disabled and gets Esa including disability. Now she wants to move into the house but can't because it needs so much work doing to it, which will take years for her to finance to fix.
Question is, will she lose her housing benefit and council tax benefit and any other esa. She can't sell it because it's so bad plus she dies want to eventually move in to it. Thank you for any help.

Hi Judy

Thank you for the question, it is outside the remit of the forum, for housing queries you will need to contact either Shelter; 0808 800 4444 or your local advice agency; advicelocal.uk

The first question I would ask is, are your friends parent dead? As you said your friend inherited her parents house because they were ill and old.
