Moving address on jsa

I am moving soon out of the area I live in where I claim legacy JSA

does anyone know if when I move I will be required to sign off and move onto UC or will they just move me to a new jobcentre?

just want to understand what will happen before I tell them I’ve moved

    Will you be claiming for help with housing costs?

    If you don't need to claim for help with any rent then it will be just a simple change of address. If help with rent is needed then you will need to claim Universal Credit, this will then end Income Related JSA.

    Then your JSA will not change.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
