On the other hand, housing benefit is means-tested, meaning it is based on your income, savings, and circumstances related to your housing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you are receiving DLA, it will not be counted as income when calculating your housing benefit. This means that your housing benefit will not be reduced or affected by the amount of DLA you receive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_How_does_housing_benefit_differ_from_Disability_Living_Allowance\"><\/span>1.
