Bedroom Tax and UC

rachelh72

Hi we have been awarded an extra bedroom with regards to housing benefit on medical grounds which means we no longer have to pay under occupancy (bedroom tax) will this change in circumstances force a move onto UC? Thanks kind regards

To claim an extra bedroom for a carer you must be claiming either daily living PIP/ADP or DLA mid/high rate care.
