If your tenant wants to claim Housing Costs, they may need proof from their landlord that they have been paying for housing.
If you have made a Universal Credit claim but are unable to manage until your first payment, you may be able to get a Universal Credit advance..
You do not need to do anything if you are already claiming benefits as you will be told when Universal Credit will affect you.
