I’m about 4 weeks into changing from esa support group and sdp to UC. I always used to pay for my spare room from my benefits each fortnight and I am really worried about it.
will I get the same housing allowance as before?
please help!

If you are paying for the spare room yourself, then there isn't any reason UC would pay you less for the bedroom amount you qualified for under HB.
If HB paid for the spare room, you will need to re apply for that via UC.
