Universal Credit is a benefit that you can apply for if you are on a low income, whether in work or not and replaces the following benefits – known as “legacy benefits”

Income based Jobseekers Allowance
Income related Employment and Support Allowance
Income Support
Housing Benefit
Working Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit

The majority of working-age claimants will have already moved over to Universal Credit, or have been invited to apply for Universal Credit. The UK Government plans to close all legacy benefits by the end of March 2026

Our Financial Inclusion Team can provide advice and guidance throughout the Universal Credit claim process. This includes helping you set up an account, completing medical assessment forms and if required challenging decisions on your behalf.
