Detail

This guide provides information on the support and financial help that is available for Universal Credit claimants who have a disability or health condition.

It explains how Universal Credit simplifies the claim process and gives an overview of the changes that Universal Credit brings.

It also covers Work Capability Assessments and how these relate to the Universal Credit Claimant Commitment, as well as how what is expected of a claimant will depend on their personal situation.

There's also information on how Universal Credit supports claimants who are able to work or prepare for work, or may be able to in the future.
