From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Relevant factors. … It also relies on sums paid by Waltham Forest Council to the Applicant, and seems to suggest these payments are housing benefits. … It is common ground that the Applicant was responsible for paying utilities, which is reflected in the express terms of the 2018 and 2019 written agreements, and the memorandum of extension was on the same terms as the preceding agreements. Therefore, there is no deduction from the rent repayment order for utilities. … That position is supported by the allocation provided by the DWP that is exhibited to the Applicant’s second witness statement. … We are also satisfied that she did not receive housing benefit, which where payable, would be received from the relevant local authority. In this case we accept the credits on the Applicant’s bank statement from Waltham Forest relate to her wages, which is supported by the payslips she exhibited to her second witness statement showing she is an employee of Waltham Forest. … We also do not consider any deductions are justified for the housekeeping paid by the Applicant’s daughters. It is a fairly typical arrangement for non- dependent adults to pay a contribution towards household expenses. …
