Hi @Lynnecresswell, welcome to the community!
I've moved your post to the Universal Credit category so you'll be able to connect with those who may be in similar positions. You can also see past discussions in this category here. Hope that helps!0 -
Hi Lynnecreswell and welcome
Can you let us know how this has come about ? is it a new claim for HB ?
Have you moved into a full UC area ?
HB is one of the benefits that is encompassed within UC

This is a new claim for UC. I am on EESA and have just been awarded PIP. I split with my husband and moved into rented accomodation. I had too much in my savings before hand to claim HB. Now my savings have reduced I need to claim HB but just a few weeks ago my area swithched to UC. As I know very little about UC, are there any pointers I should know before I start down the application road?0
