Hi Apollo141mp and all readers. I have a draft letter that states its from DWP and
says Regulation 3 of the Amendment Regulation says clearly that SDP claimants
in a date in January will be able to make new claims to existing benefits
The link is http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1230/pdfs//uksi 20141230 en.pdf
DWP and Universal Credit wrote to Denise Whitehead (Secretary of Social Security Advisory Committee)
What seems interesting is that the letter mentions draft regulations and an 
Explanatory Memorandum which gives more detail of the amendments and provides background to the new regulation as well as a Keeling Version.,but all those details are secret between DWP and Denise Whitehead.
These secret details must be able to tell us which existing benefits will be claimable when the new Amendments come into force in January.
Mike Hughes said" some people like myself opted to refuse to join Universal Credit and therefore he thinks that the government shouldn't be accountable for the Housing Benefit we have lost"
With respect I totally disagree with him because who in their right mind would sign up to Universal Credit and lose over £300 @ month in SDP benefit.
Apollo141mp I will try like you to backdate my Housing Benefit claim in January
based on the fact that Housing Benefit was unlawfully not granted and there is clear evidence of discrimination towards Disabled people with SDP benefits

FAO mikehughescq and all readers. 
I have not misquoted what you said.You said " There is no financial difference
between someone on Universal Credit unable to claim SDP and someone on old legacy benefits claiming SDP. You are totally wrong ,hence why so many people
are proving the loss off transitional benefits is unacceptable. Losses of up to £300
@ month.
You said" You will add me to your ignore list"
I hope the moderator on this site stops you being so rude to other users on this site.
You have been very rude to Apollo141mp and it isn't acceptable

Will do our utmost to treat each other with courtesy

Does anyone have any up to date news on the new Gateway condition for
ESA claimants with SDP ,hopefully in place by January 16th 2019?
I have had to pay full rent for a year out of my benefits which have seriously affected my deteriorating medical condition/

Will keep you updated if I hear anything as contacting our LA's may help them to actually find out for us and because each of our LAs may have different things to say . I'd  Ignore Mike, I've seen his replies on a few discussions (Including my own thread) and they're all rude or very condescending. We are all having a rough time of it , doesn't mean anyone deserves to be disrespected.

Keep fighting ! Happy New Year to you all xx

Well I luckily have 5 I havent used .
Let people do as they please . If it comforts us to call our LA and be proactive then so be it. 

This is a place to find support,discuss and find comfort in knowing others are going through the same . 
Not somewhere to try and disprove any comment someone makes.  

I'm not being rude ,I'm simply telling you leave people alone and stop attacking those who make suggestions you don't agree with or indeed those who call you out for being dismissive of or completely disregarding their suggestions.  

Highly uncalled for and not necessary. 

We get enough of that treatment from the DWP.
