Change of circumstances. When do you notify UC that you're moving house?

ADS21

Hi, sorry to bother again, when do you notify UC of this, is it when receiving tenancy agreement (before move in date) or on the actual move in date agreed on the tenancy?

Hi and welcome 

You will find you can't report anything on uc until the date effective or after 

You should report it on or after the date you become responsible as a tenant usually move in date 

Any housing element payment will be applicable for the assessment period in which the move occurs
