Hi just wondering has anyone had this on there journal yet? I got it last year on the 1st of April but not had it yet I think it needs to be done by the 7th but uc hasn't sent me it on my journal.

This year the new benefit year begins on April 7th, so the To Do should appear then.

Hi, I have never had that come up ever, is this new? Usually I just report it when it happens.

For those living in social Housing there is a To Do that pops up each April as that is when those rents increase.

This sounds fun, will it be like when I reported change of financial circumstances a sudden demand to the job centre to deliver a paper tenancy? Hope not.

For those living in social housing, we input our new rent when prompted and then UC verify that with the landlord.
