Are you on Universal Credit? Don’t miss out on what you're owed by updating your new rent charge on your Universal Credit Journal. If you don't do this, your benefits won’t increase to cover the new amount.
Update your new rent charge from 1 April by following the instructions in your 'to-do' list. You should be asked:
- Did your housing costs change on (the date in your letter)? - select yes
- Are you still charged weekly for your rent? - select yes
- How much is your new rent per week? - enter the amount on the letter we sent you
- Are you still charged weekly for your service charges? - select yes
- How much are your eligible service charges per week? - if you pay service charges, enter the amount from the letter we sent you
If you don't have a journal, contact your jobcentre or call 0800 328 5644.
