I am moving into my first flat on the 12th of January and am on pip daily component and LCWRA UC. My assessment period is the 22nd Dec to 21st Jan, will this give me enough time to update my housing on the 12th in time to receive the housing element on my 28th payment for Jan?

Thanks!

    Hello @lucyvlahos

    Welcome to the community, I'm sure you'll enjoy taking part on here and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. 

    You must be very excited about moving into your first flat, I wish you all the best for the move and hope everything goes smoothly.

    Regarding your query about UC, I am uncertain of the answer so I have moved your discussion over to our Universal Credit category and marked it as unanswered. You might find it helpful to have a look through the category, as well as this one about housing, to find related discussions.

    Yes it should be plenty of time. If you’re renting privately you will need a copy of your tenancy agreement as proof of liability to pay rent. 
    If you’re renting from social housing then you won’t need anything as proof.
