Need .GOV source for amendment regarding deduction of rent from UC

Hello,

I am looking for any Regulation of the Universal Credit or Guide for Decision Makers in relation to below. Help is appreciated.

www.theguardian.com/society/2025/feb/25/...rds-tenants-benefits

I see that they are scrapping it, but is that immediately or the system is still going until end of 2025 for current deduction cases? Is Labour’s fair repayment rate - how is it going to work and is there a right to appeal?

In the judgements the Judge usually mentions the regulations used to make the judgements. They are linked in article.
hope it helps

I doubled checked, and they haven't scrapped it like they said on the media. The webpage where the landlord can apply for deduction is still live.

The only difference is they will “consult” you before the deductions.
