Have you been invited to make a claim for Universal Credit?
You will be asked to apply for Universal Credit if you have a change of circumstances and need to make a new claim for benefit. The Job Centre will let you know when you make your claim whether you need to make a claim for Universal Credit or for an existing benefit such as Jobseekers Allowance.
Universal Credit includes: Working Tax Credit; Child Tax Credit; Income Support; Jobseekers Allowance; Employment and Support Allowance and Housing Benefit. It is paid to you as one single monthly payment. If you receive Universal Credit you are responsible for paying your rent from the money you receive as the amount you receive includes your Housing Benefit.
Swan can help you with budgeting, setting up a bank or Credit Union account and getting on-line.
Universal Credit is coming!
