HM Treasury written question – answered at on 15 December 2017.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with the Minister of State for Housing and Planning on the potential effect of the roll-out of universal credit on people seeking housing benefits.
At Budget, the Chancellor announced that from April 2018, Housing Benefit claimants will receive an additional two weeks’ support during their transition to Universal Credit (UC), providing them with extra support at a time of change in their lives.
The Government is also making it easier for claimants to have the housing element of their UC award paid directly to their landlord, ensuring that UC claimants are supported throughout their transition into work.
