Supported Housing - Migrated UC with TP & Housing Benefit

I've been migreated to UC and awarded a Transitional Protection amount, including the Housing Element awarded at my present contract level.

My situation is likely progressing to me having to go into Supported Housing due to mental health crisis and need for intenseive treatment.

The Housing Element with Supported Housing say it's not covered within UC, so it would be a Housing Benefit application for that services rent (despite the rest of the UC award remaining). Does the Housing Element I have transfer to HB in this case? Is this going to erode the TP?

I'd be moved on from here in about a year to standard housing. So that will mean coming out of HB into the Housing Element as standard within UC in that arrangement. Will that then erode the TP even if remains in the shift of going into Supported Housing?

I'm so lost by it all, and the lack of clarity is making me even more ill as I can't plan for anything.

Is that then going to void all the TP, as it's the Housing Element again rather than the H

Hi Mr Croesus

I'm really sorry, but your question is outside the remit of this forum, and we can't advise you about housing benefit. I would ring the UC helpline 0800 328 5644
