The DWP have announced the latest areas in which benefit claimants will be migrated from certain legacy benefits to Universal Credit. South London is included in the latest round of transfers. This will mainly affect LFSA tenants currently in receipt of Housing Benefit. The DWP will be contacting those affected to explain the process and what you will need to do as part of the switch over. You will be asked to give a contact email for your landlord so that the DWP can verify your housing costs (rent). Please ensure that you give the following designated email address. universalcredit@lfsa.org.uk
If you have any concerns about this change please contact the office on 020 8692 9294 or lfsa@lfsa.org.uk
