Does anyone work for universal credit please?

I really need advice please.
I receive Universal credit housing element and my rent increased on the 22nd June.
The updated rent agreement the landlord issued had incorrect details in relation to the address which I only noticed when I went to submit the change so obviously couldn't submit. I have been chasing the landlord for the last two months for a correct version which they promised and didn't deliver on more than one occasion so have been unable to submit a change as I do not have correct documents to do so!
Obviously I am still chasing this with the landlord and I have been paying the difference myself in the meantime but will I get in trouble for late reporting of a rent increase with universal credit under the circumstances?
I am autistic, have really poor mental health and am a full time carer so have really worked myself up about this.
I do not even care about the backpay I just do not want to be in trouble.

I don't work for them but no you won't get into trouble. You're saving them money at the moment!

Your landlord sounds like a knob though.

Keep all the evidence of chasing the landlord for this information. This will be useful if you need to explain the late reporting.

Thank you,
I have kept all the evidence of me chasing.
