The decision of the Upper Tribunal is to allow the Secretary of State’s appeal. The decision of the First-tier Tribunal made on 3 August 2022 under number SC285/22/00888 was made in error of law. Under section 12(2)(a) and (b)(ii) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, I set that decision aside and re-make the decision as follows:

The claimant’s appeal is refused.

The decision made by the Secretary of State on 20 September 2021 is confirmed.

The claimant is not entitled to the housing costs element of Universal Credit from the start of his claim on 17 August 2021 and throughout the time he was remanded in custody.
