To be clear I don't know, but UC has it's own legislation for "ESA" and I am wondering if this is the same for HB and the other benefits that it covers.

I can't see how they can't follow the law but thats officialdom I guess

To update,
Housing Benefit Regulations won't apply in such a scenario.
UC does have its own regulations for this.
They are found under Universal Credit Regulations 2013, Schedule 4 - Part 3,Paragraph 16.
The section is worded with the references to 'any renter' or 'joint renter' instead of 'claimant' or 'claimants partner' as found under HB Regulations.
Misleading perhaps ? The protections are the same.
UC may claim the word 'renter' does not apply to 'claimants' : point out the Universal Credit Regulations 2013, Paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 4, part 1-- which clearly states it does.

Update :
Just realised a typo in my message:
''They are found under Universal Credit Regulations 2013, Schedule 4 - Part 3,Paragraph 16''.
should read:
They are found under Universal Credit Regulations 2013, Schedule 4 - Part 3,Paragraph 15'
Paragraph 15 is where the actual regulations are found.

Update: As I'm just about to start managed migration (IR ESA SG to UC), can anyone please tell me if these UC housing rules quoted are still current? I'm afraid I no longer have the concentration to hunt down these things.
Thank you

Hi nonsmoker2008
You are posting on a post that is over 7 years old. The question then and now is still outside the remit of the forum. We would advise you to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk where they can take all your circumstances into consideration when giving advice.
