The answer

Grants and aid are only deserved upon fulfilling the conditions of the granting entity. If the condition for eligibility for aid is actual residence outside the family home, then deception to obtain it is not permissible. Needing money does not justify deception to obtain aid unjustly. Rather, one can reside in the room and obtain the grant without violating the conditions.
