    Hi @scattygeary1977

    Your housing benefit stops when you move to Universal Credit because it’s replaced by a housing element in your UC payment. The missing money likely means the housing element hasn’t been added or deductions are being made. You should check your UC payment breakdown and send a message by the journal asking why it's missing and what the deductions are for☺️
