Housing element
I’m a bit confused about my Universal Credit housing element.
My rent increased from £645 to 720. I reported the change and uploaded my tenancy agreement showing £720, but UC only verified and paid me £720 for my housing costs.
I sent a journal message asking why, and they replied saying that if the amount if incorrect, I would need to re report it. I never re-reported it because I didn’t want to cause any issues, so I just left it as it was.
If I don’t report the housing cost change again, will my housing element just stay at £645 per month, or could Universal Credit stop paying it or change it automatically? I haven’t reported anything else since they told me to re-report if the amount was incorrect, so I’m wondering what happens if I just leave it as it is.
