Hi,A little more information is needed to be able to help you further. Are you moving to a different local council or staying with the same one?If you're moving to a different local council do you currently claim severe disability premium in with your ESA? To claim the SDP you must be claiming a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care, no one must be claiming carers allowance for looking after you and you must live alone or be classed as living alone.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Then this isn't classed as a change of circumstances that will prompt a move to UC, you will stay on your existing benefits.

Hi @laney1970. As long as you are staying within the same council and are not moving in with a partner/needing to make a joint claim then this isn't a change of circumstances that will trigger a switch to Universal Credit.Community Manager
