Moving House? - ESA to UC and new GP

[Tawny]

I'm in a 1 bed flat
Transfer to a 2 bed House in the next county - possibly
I'm on ESA/PIP
I think i would go on to UC
How scary

I think being on ESA (cb) in the support group with PIP means no bedroom tax
I don't know what will happen though, less money?

Also very worried about leaving my GP who deals with benefit assessments and knows how i like everything to go

i have to pay bedroom tax on PIP and UC x i hope it works out for you x

i have to pay bedroom tax on PIP and UC x i hope it works out for you x

thank you
that is a shame. Is it a percentage of the rent?
is your uc a support group type?

 

[Fairy Lucretia]

its 14 percent of your total rent for one extra room i think ,24 percent for 2 rooms
mine is 15 pounds a week x

 

[Fairy Lucretia]

yes my uc is support group x

 

[Tawny]

yes my uc is support group x

Another cheeky question
I am band a, the house is band b. I pay about £75 per year in council tax with my reduction. Are you band b?
