Universal Credit
Working age?
Then you need to know about Universal Credit.
Anyone making a new claim for:
- Income Support, the income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Employment and Support Allowance
- Housing Benefit
- Tax credits
Might need to claim Universal Credit (UC).
- UC will be paid monthly
- UC will pay your rent to you: you must pay your landlord
- UC will need you to set up and use an online account: you still need to claim any contribution-based benefits.
