Free Workshop: Understanding Universal Credit
Free Workshop: Understanding Universal Credit
Universal Credit is a government benefit scheme for those who are out of work or on a low income.
The scheme replaces six older types of benefits and tax credits, and has gradually been rolled out across the UK.
The amount you'll be paid from Universal Credit depends on your circumstances, such as how much you earn, whether you have any savings, whether you have children or other dependents, are disabled or have a health condition, care for a disabled person or need help with housing payments.
