With the Social Reform Act 2012 of 8 March 2012, the beginning of the largest restructuring of social security payments in 60 years was initiated. In April 2013, the understaffing penalty for social landlords (sleep tax), the performance cap for around 40,000 homes and the government's flag ship, Universal Credit, were launched in Ashton-under-Lyne, the first of a set of signposts aimed at shaping further development, to include domestic rollouts through 2017.

As we have expertise in this intricate area of legislation, we advise residential development companies, landlords and industry volunteers & renters to make sure they are aware of the changes and what impact they will have on them and their renters. Proposals will be made on how to reduce possible loss of income for your renters, how to prevent loss of income and what measures you can take to reduce the backlog caused by the reform.

We provide assistance in the case of dispute between tenants, landlords and counsel or DWP in the forms of arbitration and litigation before First & Upper-tier Courts.

Comprehensive credit advice for councilors -

Western Lothian Council

If you' re a churchboy, what does universal credit mean to you? It' will ultimately supersede many of the advantages and taxpayer credit that you can get right now. What do I need to do to get Universal Credit? If you use Universal Credit on-line, you must give an adress for your lessor.

That'?s the way it is for West Lothian Council tenants: In addition, you must check your rental charges. Further information on what you need before applying can be found on the website of the citizens' advice centre (opens in a new window). If I get help with my rental, what if I get it? Universial Credit is transferred to your giro transfer balance on a per month basis.

That means you have to begin administering your funds all along the months. You' ll find it useful to create direct debit and recurring orders for invoices such as your rental and ancillary expenses. Living expenses are covered by your universal loan per capita. In order to administer your rental and arrange a rental fee, please call your nearest property manager on 01506 28000000.

For help with budget planning, please consult the advisory service. As soon as you are on Universal Credit and begin working, you must report your changed circumstance to the District Bank, but do not complete your application as you may still be eligible for a Universal Credit.
