Moving to what might be shared accommodation, will this affect what I get?
Hi, this is probably a stupid question, but here goes, Right now as someone 35 years old with UC (LCWRA) and enhanced rate of PIP, I get the housing element of UC up to the 1 bedroom LHA rate. Soon though I'm going to be moving into what is at least semi-shared accommodation: I have my own room and my own bathroom, but…

I spent an hour on the phone to my bank to get this sorted and they didn't seem certain on how they were going to fulfil my request. In which case it may never turn up. I got the…
