Why do some councils websites still offer HB?

Apologies for asking two questions on the same day but I’m looking into moving and applying for universal credit however some of the council websites I’ve looked at still list SDP as a reason to apply for housing benefit rather than universal credit. Is this just failure to update their websites? Or do some councils have their own rules about housing benefit vs universal credit? It’s confusing me on which benefit I should be applying for and I’m very wary of disrupting anything I currently receive by mistake.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply

I’m not sure if this means you can’t answer this but just in case, should I go by the government website and apply for UC or is it worth going by the council website and applying for HB?

Thank you.

Morning. I would NOT apply for Universal Credit unless you ‘have’ to.
I receive HB as I am in the ESA(Support Group) and get PIP and SDP.
You will lose money if you move to UC.
