At least they could prove their situation. I know at age 20, I wouldn't easily have been able to prove that my parents were no longer around.

I think this may be intended to be aimed at unemployed people who are already living at home, but decide that they would like their own place funded by the taxpayer. How big an issue is this? It would be difficult and expensive to administer, as how do you disprove that they can't live with their parents? A similar abuse is where families on benefits decide for some strange reason to move to a very expensive area where the rents are £000s a month. Rules need to be focussed on the abuses of the system.
