Pip and housing benefit

Hi there all I just wanted to ask I get pip standard rate and would I get a extra payment or top up on my unversial Credit or housing benefit. And do I need to tell unversial. Credit that I receive pip. Thank

In order to get a top up payment you need to be declared as limited capability for work and work related activities.
known as LCWRA. This process starts by you declaring a new illness in your on line journal and then submitting fit notes, once you have submitted fit notes fort 28 days you should be referred for a work capability assessment and sent the UC50 form to complete and then have a f2f or at present a phone assessment, this will then determine which group you are placed in and if any extra payment is due

For example, it lifts the benefit cap and it can give you a higher rate LHA if you're private renting.

As you are in a 1 bedroom housing association property, they should already be covering your full rent within your UC. Are they not?
