at the moment i live alone, and i'm on incapacity benefit recieinvg housing benefit.  i'm planning on moving in with my best mate after christmas.  we'll be sharing a house (but not as a couple).  can anyone tell me how my housing benefit would be affected?  or give me some sort of idea.

When you move your claim will be reassessed on your new housing and your housing benefit will be made according to your half of the rent or rather your half of what is classed a fair rent for where you live.
