UC Housing Costs Service Charges was created by Sassykins
Please can anyone advise me, I qualify for payment of Service Charges under Universal Credit Housing Costs, part of the service charges is for building insurance which DWP say is not covered, I can not see in there Guidance that this is so, I am a home owner with no mortgage, I live in an apartment in a listed building in a conservation area, the guidance states that home owners are entitled to housing costs covering home insurance yet will not pay for building insurance which is a bloc policy shared with other owners arranged by the property managers. I have contaced them but the will not budge. Is this policy correct, who else can help me. Thank you

Hi MO

Your query is outside the remit of the forum but I am able to offer you some assistance.

Not all service charges are payable, service charges that are classed as eligible will be paid, those that are classed as ineligible will not be paid: www.gov.uk/government/publications/unive...idance-for-landlords

For further clarification you may want to contact Shelter Helpline : 0808 800 4444 england.shelter.org.uk/get_help/helpline
