Finally, Universal Credit is the UK’s centralised benefit system. Previously, individuals and families entitled to financial support from the government would claim a combination of six different benefits. Now, Universal Credit has merged all of these remunerations into one monthly payment. This Guide to Universal Credit has been put together to help make the process less stressful and help you to navigate your way through the process.
