IF the offspring manage to get a job whilst they are still at home, then any Housing Benefit for the parents will be affected.

Also despite ESA (IR) being an income based benefit, the same thing happens if your offspring, aged UNDER 25, start receiving it, whereas offspring (i.e non-dependants) who are 25 or OVER and are on IS, income-related ESA (IR) or JSA affect the family's Housing Benefit.

Less to pay out.... they don't do these things without any thought you know.
