Hi there, my name is Jean

Pleased to meet you all.xx

I was wondering what happens to your benefit payments when you become homeless. At present I receive Pips, UC, Inc the housing element, I'm on Lwcra. Just sent in form for review with regards to my Pips. I'm unsure what happens and what payment I would get. I'll probably be sleeping in the car.

Thankyou for listening

    If this did happen in the future then your benefits will continue with the exception of housing element because you will not longer be liable to pay rent to a landlord.

    For your PIP review there’s extremely long delays and you could be waiting anything up to a year, sometimes longer. Your current award will continue until a decision is made on the review.
