Hi
I am currently living in temporary accommodation. However the council has found me a council flat for me and my cousin to live in.
However he is a full time student, aged 19.
I am receiving universal credit, Limited Capability for wok work and daily living allowance PIP.
I have now been told by the council I may not be able to have the property, as my cousin isnt in recepit of any benefit.
I thought me having PIP and my cousine being a FT student meant that I would be excempt from paying any Bedroom Tax. and not affect my housing element.
I am unsure what to do. As I really wanted to get out of here.

Quite often we come across repeat posts where members have made a post thinking they will see it straight away. Unless a mod is on duty then this will not happen.
