Hi, i am thinking of moving within my same local authority, and wasn't sure if i would be put on UC, i spoke to a lady at my local council and she said no, but she was still a bit unsure, so i double checked with u and u said no also. I have now bid on the property and have been shortlisted, but the site u have to go on says " as from Sept 2018 we will require 4 weeks rent in advance, because of the UC system.". My concern is that if my HB goes onto UC does that mean my IR ESA does too and will i lose my SDP. I'm desperate to move because of health issues , but losing my SDP is a big hit. Any advice welcome pls. Many thanks.
