Adequate Maintenance question

[alphagear]

Hi guys,

Just a query regarding adequate and the housing cost question.

I live with my parents and the house is cashed/no mortgage.

Our council tax is under my mothers name and paid by her.

Just wanted to know whether the council tax will still be considered and taken away from income in the calculation A - B is equal or more than C?

Any ideas guys?

Will council tax be deducted from income irrespective of who is paying it?

I have applied under this category and no it would not be deducted. Get a letter from your mum if the house is in her name to say you can live there cost free and you dont need contribute towards bills or expenses. Hope this helps

Thanks for reply.

Problem is house is shared ownership with 3 other family members including mother but council tax on mothers name.
