hi . my council housing said i could stop paying them £70 a mth for my 3rd bedroom as my disabled daughter and has a carer stay to help 2:-3 days week . next thing the universal credit has take. £70 off my benefit to pay the housing with it . ..i’ve rang the uc and asked why and they just keep saying . because they’re paying the rent for me . but they was paying the rent before . so now i’m £70 out of pocket still a month. the housing said i can stop paying. then the uc took it off me? i’m confused thank you .

Hi @hev548 so sorry you've not had an answer to this. Did you manage to speak to UC to get an answer in the interim. It'd be good to know the outcome if you're happy to share.
