If you're living in rented accommodation and any costs for heating, lighting, cooking, hot water, or meals are included in your rent, we must take this into account in the assessment.
A deduction will be made from your housing costs when we work out if you're entitled to a certificate.
This deduction is made because these expenses are accounted for as part of your personal allowance.
