Hi Susan
As a matter of urgency you must change your forum name as it appears you have your email address opening you up to spam and other attacks, see
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum You ask a very interesting question, personally I would say yes, but we would advise you to contact UC helpline 0800 328 5644 and ask, when you find out let us know.
