Universal Credit

Universal Credit was rolled out across all jobcentres in Pembrokeshire on 5^th September (and is coming to Carmarthenshire in December 2018) to replace new claims for the following benefits:

• Jobseekers Allowance (Income Based)
• Employment & Support Allowance (Income Related)
• Income Support
• Working Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit
• Housing Benefit

So what’s different?

• Claims are made online.
• Your housing costs will be paid to you instead of direct to ateb. You will pay your rent to ateb every month when you receive your Universal Credit payment.
• You will need to make a claim for Council Tax Reduction separately.

More information is available online at www.gov.uk/universal-credit

Talk to your Money Solutions Team Clayton, Cheryl and Sharon for advice and support with making a claim, getting online and paying your rent.
