I have a question about this please. If an elderly lady, in receipt of widow's pension, over the eligible age, has a family member living in a granny flat on her property does this affect her entitlement to a living alone allowance? Both the elderly person in the main house and family member in the granny flat extension live separately and independently of each other. Citizen's information states that the elderly person can live in a granny flat in a family member's house and receive the allowance, but is it the same in the reverse situation as described in the above scenario? Thanks for replies.
