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.
