I've just switched from JSA to IS which is now sorted but my housing benefit hasn't come in today.
Is that because of my switch? Because noone told me I would have to reclaim for that?? :( My rent is due and now I might have to reclaim which took 6 weeks last time!! Soo fed up of this.
 
Hey

The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Nobody told me I would have to update my circumstances with HB, just that it would be a staight swap over from JSA to IS. The dwp automatically update HB whenever you sign off from a claim, which in turn suspends your HB. Mines was due on the Fri and I phoned them that day. They had to wait until the DWP had updated the system with details of my IS claim. This only took about a day or two and I got my HB one week later.

As its only a suspension, you dont have to make a reclaim or anything like that xx
 
Oh thanks so much :) Hopefully wont take too long then, cause will have to pay my rent out of my income support which means i'll be skint :(
They do like to mess you about dont they!! xx
 
Fingers crossed for you...theres nothing worse than relying on money and then it doesnt turn up :( especially when its through no fault of your own. You can also ask your HB dept to fast track the payment...I didnt know this but one of my friends works in the councils payments dept and they deffo do this xx
 
Yes, I've just swapped and no one told me about hb either, I'm just waiting for that to be sorted at the mo , don't panic , just as long as you let hb know what's going on it should be ok x
