Hi @Cherrypie123 I'm very sorry but I've just removed your other post with answers by mistake. @OverlyAnxious I believe you'd replied. Can I be a pain and ask if you'd mind sharing this again please? So sorry for the inconvenience both.

hi iv just joined scope, and wanting to move to a flat which has service charges , can i get help with them if im on pension credit please….iv heard yes, but just need some conformation before i purchase the flat, as the service charges are £240 per month…many thanks x

Not a problem, Holly. 🙂

Hi,

As you are above state pension age, housing costs will be managed by your local council rather than Universal Credit.

Local councils can make their own rules so they can be different across the country. For this reason, you should contact your local council directly to ask them if they'll cover service charges in your circumstances.

I think it would depend on the nature of the tenancy, like if it's a housing association, private rental, buying it, or whatever

Heya @Cherrypie123 welcome to the community. 😁

I hope you don't mind, but I've merged your three discussions into one as they're all asking the same question and it'll stop any confusion later. I hope that's ok. 😊

yes thank you
