A non-dependant is someone aged 18 or over who normally lives with you such as an adult son or daughter, other relative or a friend.

Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support is reduced for each non-dependant living in your home. For non-dependant couples, the income of both members of the couple are added together to find the total gross income. The reduction in your benefit is called a non-dependant deduction.
