UC Support group Lodger was created by Nienna

Hello!
I’m sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I’m not great at searching.
I have a friend I have known coming up 12 years and he has been a great support to me at times. He lived at home with his mum who passed away earlier this year. The house is going through probate and needs a lot of work doing. Can he lodge with me without it causing me problems with my benefit?

Hi Nienna

Yes, rent from a lodger who pays for a room in your home is disregarded for UC purposes.
But you will need to check the effect it will have on Council Tax. To do this you could use a Benefits calculator such as Entitledto.co.uk
