    Hi @mimsy welcome to the community 😊 I've popped your question into it's own discussion, I hope that's alright with you! Just means the right people can find it more easily and you can keep track of the replies.

    Do you receive help with your housing costs as part of your Universal Credit?

    This is referring to needing regular overnight care but you must be claiming a disability benefit such as daily living PIP/ADP or mid/high rate care DLA.
