Applying im shaking have to do phone call

I think it's better for you to do it on the phone. Just coming up with a username and password that have not been taken could waste your time, as the system would keep telling you that your username/password is already in use.
Make sure you get ready your basic rent and service charge separately.
All da best.

Hi Catherine 21,
If it scares you that much you can do the thing online, I suggested it only because it's simpler in the long term and over more quickly on the day. I know some folk aren't yery good on the phone. Iim exactly the same. I think I sound foolish on the phone. Who cares when it's all done? Maybe you could have a good friend who would sit with you on the day for day. Don't forget if you ring cab they arrange for someone to listen in on the convocation you have with the uc people and if you make any mistakes they will intervene for you and help. hope this helps. Yours sincerely. Socrates

I dont have anyone atm what will they need rent do they ask how much esa get ect i have bedroom tax also and council tax ?

If you live in social housing, they will contact your landlord for confirmation of the rent, which should include a service charge breakdown to help UC know which ones are eligible.
There is a dummy form so you can see which questions they ask.
Council Tax Reduction is decided on at a local level and administered by your local authority. Some areas do treat UC differently to legacy benefits and some people have seen an increase in the amount of CT they need to pay. It's very hard to advise on individual cases from here.
Citizens Advice have a Help to Claim service, they can support you before during and after your claim.
This is a national service run by phone and webchat.
