Can two siblings claim housing benefit?

[BomoLad]

I've tried to look this up but the only thing that seems to come up is answers to the question about people renting FROM family, not with.

It's not for me but on the online forms it only gives options for single people or couples/partners and I'm not sure that counts

Can anyone help?

Try the benefit hotline, there doesn't appear much out there.
Maybe they are treated as no different as if they were strangers.

This is the only really revent info I could find and it doesn't seem to cover your question, does maybe give some idea http://www.runnymede.gov.uk/portal/...ries/Housing/Choice_based_lettings/HAP_12.pdf

If you mean by say your son and daughter are moving into a private two bedroom flat not owned by family so they have a room each then yes they can claim each one does a seperate claim as single person.
