Hi just a quick question if I move to another local authority and obviously changed address would that then trigger a move to universal credit ? Or is it just housing benefit claims that would happen with ?
Thanks

If you aren't claiming housing benefit then you are correct, no impact on your CTC claim"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "1

Nothing triggers a move to UC other than making a claim for UC. what can happen is that some changes of circumstance result in an existing benefit ending and if continued help is needed a claim for UC is the only option. That would be the case for someone changing local authority and needing help with rent.
A change of address will not end your Tax Credits.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.2 -
