[2023] UKUT 176 (AAC)

This is an appeal by the Appellant against a decision of the First-tier Tribunal (‘FtT’) that the Appellant was not entitled to universal credit in respect of an additional bedroom for an overnight carer.

Permission to appeal was given by Upper Tribunal Judge Wikeley on 25 April 2022. Following the exchange of written submissions, I directed an oral hearing which took place before me, by video, on 22 May 2023. I am grateful to both representatives for their helpful written and oral submissions.
