Exempt a home owned by people living in tied accommodation from UC calculations

Petition Details

Amend Universal Credit rules for those who live in tied accommodation (gamekeepers, vicars etc.). Currently a home someone owns but doesn't live in is treated as capital. We want the calculation to be reformed to account for those who need to own a property for when they retire or leave their job.

Additional Information

Those who live in tied accommodation will require a property to live in when they retire or leave their job. One option many take is to own a property during their time in the job. However, we believe this shouldn't be treated as capital in the same way as second homes for owner occupiers - it is the only property those people own and often they will have a mortgage on it.
