Moving to temporary accomadation for a few months was created by Sixtrees
Hi to all the Moderaters on this website you are a life,life to us all.
I wondred if you could advise me please. I have my own house and I am on pip and esa contributions based until 2028.
I have major structural damadge to my house due to subsidence. I live alone and iam very worried the safety of my house it its very scary. My insurance are going drill and dig up all the floors and install piling in my house. so it will be uninhabital for a few months.
Am I right in thinking I will need to tell the DWP That I will be moving out on a temporary basis. I will still be in the area where I live and local ? However I dont want to do anything wrong as I know the dwp are very strict.
kind regards and many thanks

You should not have an issue with the DWP as the rules quoted below are clear though I expect some trouble with Council Tax as Council Tax departments at present are using any excuse to put up bills.
Let me know how you get on.

Other accommodation for essential repairs
F2171 A claimant who
1. has to move into other accommodation so that essential repairs can be carried out to their home
2. intends to return to their home following the repairs and
3. is liable to pay for only one home

F2173 In F2171 and F2172 essential means necessary and not a luxury.
