Hi Mum's Net,

Am I being unreasonable to expect Universal Credit to pay the full housing element of £2000?

The Local housing allowance and shared room rate do not apply to me.

I emailed [post edited to remove identifying details] and have had no reply.

Am I being unreasonable?

I don't think you should have posted the email address. You get what benefits your entitled to, not sure how mn saying yabu or yanbu will help you

If you don't think they've calculated your benefits correctly you need to speak to citizens advice. No-one here can advise you without knowing your circumstances.

Harrow have a maximum housing allowance Depending on size of the property. Also they will only pay for the maximum number of bedrooms you need so if you have more rooms than needed they will pay less than the maximum allowance.
1 bed is £1,000.01 monthly
2 bed is £1,249.99 monthly
3 bed is £1,549.99 monthly
4 bed is £1,849.99 monthly

The lha applies to everyone why do you think you’re exempt?

Why does the LHR not apply to you?

I presume you either have children or are over 35 of the shared room doesn't apply.

A lot more information would be needed before anyone could advise.
