What are Non Dependants?
Non Dependants
A non-dependant can be a parent, adult son or daughter, relative or friend who lives in your home.
Non dependant deduction means that your Council tax Support is reduced if an adult who could contribute to your rent lives with you. This applies even if you don't receive rent from the non- dependant person.
Examples include a grown-up child who returns after studying, a relationship breakdown, or someone who has just finished serving in the forces.
No deductions for non-dependants are made if the customer or partner is:
- blind or treated as blind
- getting Attendance Allowance or the care component of Disability Living Allowance for themselves
- getting the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment
- getting the Armed Forces Independence Payment
