Not sure what the problem is with doing this?
As I said before I have no issue in house sharing where it's appropriate

But Housing Benefit covers situations where what you are earning isn't enough to cover your housing needs, even if you are working full time and sharing. The blanket removal support where you might need it no matter the circumstances is wrong.
