Work allowance and supported accommodation

Lostsoul13

Hi I just migrated over to uc today -

I’m work and was wondering will I receive the work allowance I’m on lcwra as I was esa support group and I’m in supported accommodation which will be paid by hb. Do I still get work allowance if so lower or higher ?

I’ve read online that supported accommodation gives you the higher work allowance and temporary gives you the lower. Can someone confirm?

As your rent is paid via Housing Benefit you qualify for the higher work allowance.

This is because you do not get Housing Element paid with your UC.
