Universal Credit

Combined benefit for people of working age

Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs. It’s administered by the Department for Work and Pensions, and replaces a number of benefits, including Housing Benefit, for most working age people.

Claim Universal Credit on GOV.UK

You can still claim Council Tax Reduction from us if you need help to pay your Council Tax.
