Can UC pay my landlord direct? Landlord is a housing association

Janx

I believe that Housing benefit will cease to exist once on UC. The rent will be aid to you as part of your payment. Is there anyway of changing this, continue to pay the landlord direct? The landlord is a housing association.

Yes,ask UC to pay your landlord direct and they will.

You don't even need to waste your time calling them, as this can take time. You can just make your request by sending them a message on your journal.
