Universal Credit will replace the following benefits: Housing Benefit, Income Based Job Seekers Allowance, Income Support, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income Related Employment and Support Allowance.
There will be some important changes. You will be paid monthly into a bank, credit union or post office account, you will need to apply and manage your claim online and your housing costs will be paid directly to you each month, so it is your responsibility to pay your rent to Larkfield.
Universal Credit is currently only available to new, single job seekers of working age. Roll-out to all new claimants will be introduced slowly over the next few years.
