Hi @Murphy1926 Your question depends on whether you are moving into SUPPORTED accommodation or SHELTERED accommodation. 'Supported' is usually where the residents are provided with care, supervision or support as part of the tenancy. 'Sheltered' accommodation is where there is a warden, or perhaps a call care emergency pull cord system etc. If it is supported accommodation you would not need to claim UC and would keep your ESA and claim Housing Benefit. This is because supported accommodation is not within UC. BUT if it is sheltered accommodation you would have to claim UC. In this instance you say you are in the Support Group on ESA, so on UC you would be paid the £328.32 limited capability for work related activity element, plus a standard allowance for you (£317.82) and an amount for your rent. These are monthly figures. I hope this clarifies things for you. Sarah

Thanks you.as already someone clarified this.on the gov.uk it says u cannot get uc.if in temporary.emergency.supported or sheltered.
-
Thanks everyone.it looks like even though it's sheltered been informed by the council that they are run by housing assoc.so even tho it's says on the gov.uk site 'sheltered I would have to claim the rent through uc.so basically back to square one.i think the gov.uk site should be a bit more clearer also the council's for advertising sheltered housing and then saying it's not realy sheltered as such.ive never been so confused in all my days.
-
Just wondered if anyone could let me know that if I was to go to uc from esa as a change of circumstances.its says that new claimant after may 2017 will not be able to claim the lace 126 or the 328 other then 317 a month.q
