UC: The Housing Costs Element

Universal Credit claimants who rent should have a Housing Costs Element included when their UC award is assessed. But many aren't receiving one, or if they are, not as much as they are entitled to!

 

This course (part 2 of 2) looks at how is is calculated - eligible service charges, room allocation, Housing Costs Contributions and so on.

 

It highlights what is going wrong and has hints and tips on how to put it right.
