Please see a ‘twitter’ announcement from Social Security Scotland.  Everyone in Scotland (not just new claimants) receiving Universal Credit in full service areas will be eligible for the Scottish Universal Credit Choices from 31/01/18 (i.e. housing element paid directly to landlord and twice monthly payments).
