Housing Benefit & Council Tax Question

A question about : Housing Benefit & Council Tax Question

Good afternoon. My daughter has been away at uni for the last 3yrs. Her out of term address was here with me.
All this time I kept housing/council tax dept aware of where she was.
Now she is just about to finish uni, and will be coming home to live full time. She has no job to go to. So will be signing on and claiming JSA.
Will my housing and council tax benefit stay the same as it is now? Or will it change in any way? I am claiming ESA.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

From doing the MSE benefits checker, it says that my partner & I would be entitled to housing benefit as well as a reduction in Council tax.

A quick summary of us:
- My partner is self employed;
- I do not work;
- We have a 14 month old daughter;
- We do not claim any benefits currently. However, we are in receipt of Working Tax credits etc;
- We live in private rented accomodation;
- We do not have any savings to speak of.
