I tried to get our twins named on the rent agreement as they now pay part of the rent as non-dependants (but they shouldn't as they receive ESA "Income Related" but the council is adamant that they should whilst the DWP says they shouldn't).

If the tenancy was transferred to them, there would be no rent to pay as THEY are disabled and we would be non-dependants with nothing to pay as WE receive IS. A complicated rule that will no doubt be more complicated with UC.

By the way, the council told me that deductions for non-dependants are rising by around 50% from April 1st!!!
