UC Housing Benefit Change

mwesty

Hi all,

Thank you in advance for any help or advice given, I have just come off the phone as this year my landlord changed my rent from monthly to 4 weekly to aline with my wages and partners PIP dates.
This period it happens that all, the rent, PIP and my wages fall into that period that it happens twice in 1 period. That is totally fine apart from the fact UC have just told my that because my wages falls in same period it will adjust my income as 2 pay days (which is fine) but my rent that also falls into the same date so two rent payments due will NOT count towards housing benefit and l will only receive 1 payment as usual which would be at one 4 weekly payment and not two?

Is it right that they can deduct me for 2 wage payments but then not pay 2 rent payments ?? Im confused how that works
