Hi will a change in HB force a move onto UC? (I need to update my housing benefit claim because I'm now entitled to an extra bedroom on disability grounds which I have been paying bedroom tax on) Thanks

No it won’t. You will need to apply for the extra bedroom because no one is automatically entitled to it.Is this for a carer or because you’re unable to sleep with a partner?0

Hi thanks both.0

If you mean both of those apply then I’m not sure if it’s possible to have an extra bedroom for a carer when you live with a partner.
Whether it’s possible to have an extra bedroom because you can’t share a room with your partner will depend on the reasons why you can’t share.0 -
