The government has agreed to include a specialist housing
team within the universal credit service centre, following negotiations with

housing benefit payments back to landlords directly where a tenant is in
arrears. Universal credit, which combines a range of benefits into a single
monthly payment, has been piloted in a number of local authority areas. Read
