in Universal Credit (UC)

my council tax has gone up this year according to my online account. Haven’t received the letter yet.

Do I inform universal credit or do they get informed automatically ?

I qualify for full amount being paid.

    Council Tax & Council Tax Reduction is administered by your local authority.

    Universal Credit do not need to know anything about CT.

    Council tax told me to ask it my state pension , (which I am now on, but not received a penny for 7 weeks, )

    Is inclusive of state pension, as we are mixed age Couple and still get UC, because of this ,although slightly reduced. Sooo....... Confusing I know

    Yes, we have a wet room,

    We are mixed age couple.

    My ESA stopped 7 weeks ago, As I was moved onto state pension .we were getting UC, slightly reduced, as my partner was in support group on ESA, and apparently we qualify for UC,as she 5 years younger than me.

    not had a penny of state pension yet, in 7 weeks, and all the ,go online, ringing and talking to machines, having figures ,codes etc thrown at me, on phone for hours, and getting nowhere .

    Apparently we qualify for reduced rate council tax.

    But 🤷🤷🤷

    Would you benefit from talking to a local welfare rights organisation?
