In a letter to landlords, the DWP has conceded to an
issue with the way Universal Credit (UC) is calculated for social housing
tenants – and confirmed changes are being considered over the 53-week rent
year. The DWP has recognised there is an issue with regards to the way the
calculation in the UC regulations converts a weekly liability into a monthly
allowance. The conversion is achieved by multiplying the weekly rent by 52 and
then dividing by 12. This effectively means one day’s rent a year (two days in
a leap years) is not covered by UC. The DWP is now considering whether this
formulation should be amended. Read more on 24housing.
