Hi,You'll need to check if your area is a full universal credit area, if it is then you won't be able to claim housing benefit in your new area. It will have to be universal credit providing you don't have anymore than 2 children. Check your area by putting your new post code into this link.If it's a Full UC area then your ESA will also transfer to UC. Council tax reduction isn't part of UC and needs to be claimed separately.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
