Hi, Can anyone answer this question please.

Universal credit are going to pay my full social housing rent. I have services charges for the block I live in. Does UC help with these or do I have to pay them? £22.10 pw.

Thank you

It depends what the service charges are for. I live in a social housing property and my rent includes service charges for water and help with my rent does not include this.

There's some information here that may help.
