Annually - in normal times - around two thousand tenants in Scotland are evicted by social landlords for rent arrears, with an unrecorded number of private tenants. Many of these arrears can be traced back to issues about housing benefit (HB) and the housing costs element of universal credit (UC) and arrears are a growing problem as people move from HB to UC. This practical course is aimed at housing workers and advisers who need to understand how to manage UC to minimise arrears and reduce the threat of eviction and how to maximise and retain HB where possible.
