Hi,
Does anyone understand how when you are on esa support and get disabled premium and migrate onto UC how my rent has gone up and today when I looked the rent increase has been taken from my expenses to pay landlord. Never have I been penalised and had my money reduced 1st time! Rang dwp and told my transitional protection has lowered to pay for rent increase? So livewest puts rent up every year! I didn't know it would happen is it right?

Hi astrid

It may well be right as the DWP intended that a rent increase would lower Transitional Protection but you need to provide some figures.

Hiya, thank you I am not sure if you mean I have to supply figures to whom? They have taken £60 this month i know it may seem small but next year it will happen again. I didn't know it was allowed. Thank you David

Hi David,
I thought I had replied but I know not where my message went. £60 taken off my amount I usually get this month. Is that what you asking? Just shocked me as they didn't inform me this was going to happen. Every year rent goes up so next April I will get reduced amount until my premiums are gone. Thank you David

Hi astrid

I think I understand now...it is that your rent went up by £60 per month and all of this was taken off your Transitional Element ?
