Other adults who live with you

If you have other adults living with you, you may get less support.

They are called non dependants and we may reduce your award by a set amount for each of them based on their gross income.

We won’t make a reduction if:

  • you receive Attendance Allowance
  • you receive Disability Living Allowance with care component
  • you receive Personal Independence Payment with the daily living component
  • you receive the care component of Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance
  • you are registered blind
  • the non-dependant is under 25 and receives Universal Credit with no earned income
  • the non-dependant is in receipt of Pension Credit
