LCWRA is part of Universal Credit. Unless you're living in either supported or temporary housing then help with the rent will be through Universal Credit, known as housing element. Doesn't your UC currenly include any help with the rent?
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

The only exception is if you are in temporary accommodation or supported accommodation.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
