UC and going into prison - housing costs payable? - Mon, 22/07/2024 - 14:48
I have been searching for specific information regarding Universal Credit (UC) claimants who are in custody, such as the duration they can claim Housing Benefit (HB) elements of UC and the process to do so. Additionally, I am looking for information on whether individuals can claim HB if they did not have a UC claim prior to being in custody. I am having difficulty locating this information and thought I would reach out for assistance. I apologise if this information is available on the website, and if so, could you please direct me to the appropriate resource?
