Automated Claimant Review just before annual rent increase

Automated Claimant Review just before annual rent increase was created by RosiePosie
Hi there

I have just received what appears to be an Automated Claimant Review notification, whereby I have to 'reconfirm my details'. Would this review be related to the fact that my social housing rent will increase in April? And should I be informing UC of this future rent increase, when responding to the Automated Claimant Review?

This review has to be responded to by 25th March. My rent increases around 7th April. I have only in the last 4 months or so been migrated over to UC from ESA.

I had been expecting a 'to do' notification informing me to only confirm any changes in housing costs. I was not expecting the review to ask me to reconfirm the other issues, such as savings. So, I am a bit confused.

Hi RosiePosie

The UC annual Automated Claimant review is not generated by a landlord's rent increase. Also with UC you cannot report a rent increase prior to its implementation.
As you have a Social Landlord your rent increase will be reported by them to UC via the Social Landlord portal. I would expect sometime in April to get a To Do on your UC account for you to action re: the rent increase.
