The housing element is just one part of the UC entitlement. UC is one benefit. The JSA will be taken fully into account and deducted from the UC award as a whole.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0

Then that means on JSA I don't get anything to live on as it will be taken out of the housing element? What's the point of the JSA then? I might as well cancel the JSA and re apply for universal credit once the assessment period is up if that's the case. Or do I apply for universal credit and get the standard amount + housing element then minus the JSA? Seems a bit long winded to me. Paying with one hand then taking off with another.0 -
