Support with Universal Credit

If you currently receive benefits such as Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Housing Benefit, you may soon be asked to switch to Universal Credit and will receive a migration notice inviting you to claim.

This is a government-wide change designed to simplify the benefits system. Don’t worry if you’re feeling overwhelmed! River Clyde Homes’ Financial Wellbeing Team is here to help. Our expert team can provide clear, impartial advice and support throughout the process - we stress the importance of receiving advice prior to moving to UC to ensure that you transition over with the correct amounts, and don’t miss out financially.

What can the Financial Wellbeing Team do for you?

• Explain Universal Credit: We can clarify what Universal Credit is, how it works, and how it differs from your current benefits.
• Assist with your claim: Our team can guide you through the application process, ensuring you claim all the benefits you’re entitled to.
