Hi everyone,
could someone please advise what might happen in this scenario-
I own my house, so I don’t claim HB.
would I be able to move to the next door authority without being forced to move to UC?
Currently my husband claims IRESA and enhanced pip 
I get CBESA and enhanced pip.

We currently live in a house and due to our disabilities, the stairs are becoming a real problem for us both, so we really need to move on medical grounds.

Thanks in advance for any information. 👍

    As you don't need to claim for any help with the rent then you don't need to claim UC, as moving is not classed as a change of circumstances that will prompt a move accross.
