Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any experience with applying for council housing and being on benefits? I have LCWRA and UC and I’m worried when applying for council housing they will stop the benefits. Does anyone know if they do this?

Thank you

    No they don't do that.

    I have LCWRA within UC and also live in a council home.

    This wouldn’t happen. My daughter is a social housing tenant, we live together and she claims help with her share of the rent from UC.
