HB for temporary homeless accommodation
If in a full service area and claimant get their wrongly ended ESA back and gets temporary housing fitting the definition so can be paid by HB - when he gets rehoused permanently in same area is this just a change of address and allows UC to be avoided (so keeps sdp)?
Assuming same LA responsible for HB at new address, yes it’s a change of circs in a continuing HB award and no need to disturb the ESA award. Won’t need to make a new claim for anything, a fortiori won’t have to claim UC
