In 1981 my parents and myself bought our council house, all our names are on the deeds. My parents have now removed their names from the deeds, and I am now the sole owner. They were because of age( 91 and 84 ) and disability and income entitled to a 50% reduction in council tax. I am 62 and on state pension. Will we now not be entitled to housing benefit.

If you bought and own your own home then I didn't think your were entitled to houseing benefit! If they now get HB then they pay you and again you wouldn't get any HB.
You seem to imply (by saying ...will we NOW not be entitled..) that you have been entitled to HB up to now. I assume all 3 of you live in the house. If so, you have not been entitled to HB up to now, & will not be in the future.

If I have got the situation wrong, please clarify it.
HB is for people who pay rent. do you mean Council Tax Benefit?

yes sorry, I mean Council Tax Benefit, they were only allowed a 50% reduction because I have always lived at the address.
