<p /> <p>To prevent young people slipping straight into a life on benefits, from April
2017 the Government will remove the automatic entitlement to housing support for new
claims in Universal Credit from 18-21 year olds who are out of work. This will ensure
young people in the benefits system face the same choices as young people who work
and who may not be able to afford to leave home.</p><p> </p><p>We will ensure that
vulnerable young people who are in need of support for their housing needs continue
to receive it. Government will consider the impact in line with our legal obligations
as part of that process.</p>
