Council tax hike after migrating to UC

TK1

I have gone from paying £32 monthly under IR ESA to £130 a month on UC. My council counts all UC as income, with 50% of LCWRA counted as income.

I think this is intentional and being fine quietly. How can you only get 25% single person discount along with 15% for LCWRA but housing element and all other UC is counted as income.

wgy isn't anyone protesting about this rip off by many councils?! It's so unfair that money I previously used for my disability needs will now have to go to C/Tax when nothing has changed, apart from being forced to move to UC.

disability charities should tease this issue. It's bad enough coping with daily living and extra costs for people with disabilities. This is on top of the proposed welfare cuts designed to punish disability and push us into poverty.

I can't even get discretionary help as that's reserved for people struggling with rent in my area. The system seems to be designed to make it as tough as possible for people in UC and dealing with a disability and chronic illnesses to survive.
