Moving Home Questions was created by KeithW
Hi,
I am currently in receipt of the following: ESA (Support group), Server disablement premium, DLA Care & Mobility.
I am just wondering if the law/guidance on moving home to a different local authority has changed with regard to claiming housing benefit?
It used to be that if you moved to a different local authority you would forced onto UC in order to claim housing benefit, has this changed?
Thanks in advance.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi KeithW
You are correct in your assumption, unless you are in receipt of a SDP in which case you will stay on legacy benefits, unless you move to the Harrogate area.

OK I am in receipt of SDP
So if I moved now to a new local authority area I will not be forced onto UC in order to claim housing benefit?

If you are in receipt of the SD Premium then you are currently barred from claiming UC and can make a new claim for Housing Benefit.
