Use this letter to challenge the DWP's refusal to stop a deduction for rent arrears from your client's universal credit (UC) award when your client has cleared their rent arrears and their rent account is now in credit, including where your client's landlord is requesting ‘rent in advance’.
These letters are for advisers, not members of the public.
If you don't have an adviser, you may be able to find one at advicelocal.uk

We'll discuss your client's case with you and advise whether this pre-action letter is appropriate.
We can support you to complete the letter or help you draft your own.
If a pre-action letter is not appropriate, we'd still be happy to share templates with you if they would help you challenge the decision in a different way.
