Housing Element should not erode TP when moving on from specified accommodation

What this case is about

This appeal is about the intersection between Universal Credit and Housing Benefit. It is about what happens to the transitional protections enjoyed by a claimant who has migrated from a legacy benefit to Universal Credit when they move from a type of accommodation funded by a local authority by way of Housing Benefit (in this case, specified accommodation) and which does not attract the Housing Costs Element of Universal Credit, to another type of accommodation (in this case, mainstream rented accommodation), which is funded by the Housing Costs Element
of Universal Credit.
