star this property answer text <p>No such assessment has been made. Universal Credit was designed with the aim of simplifying the benefits system and making work pay, and does not differentiate by different sectors of work. The single taper rate makes it much easier for people who are working or who are considering a job to see clearly how much financial support they will receive and to understand the advantages of work.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Universal Credit is a 24 hour, seven days a week, digital service that allows claimants to manage their own data and account online at a time which is convenient for them. Via their account, claimants can check their Universal Credit benefit payments, notify us of changes and record notes on the online journal facility.</p><p> </p><p>To enable Work Coaches to provide a tailored experience for all claimants, including those with mental health conditions, Work Coaches are able to record in a free text format, through the use of ‘pinned notes’ in the Universal Credit system, information which supports staff in identifying and recording circumstances of individual claimants.</p><p> </p><p>However, if claimants are unable to make a digital claim, they can make and maintain their claim via our Freephone Universal Credit helpline. When a claim is made by telephone, claimants do not need to provide an email address and are not given an online account to maintain, nor an online journal to manage. A telephone claim is also clearly marked on the service to remind DWP staff to use alternative channels to communicate information with claimants and their monthly award statement will be sent via post.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, Help to Claim support delivered through Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland offers tailored, practical support to help people make a Universal Credit claim up to receiving their first full correct payment on time. This support has been bolstered by the announcement in March this year of a further 12 months of funding for Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland to deliver Help to Claim.</p>

star this property answer text <p>We receive regular representations that receipt of Carer’s Allowance should not affect other benefits. But the principle that available income reduces entitlement to means-tested benefits is long-established, for example in income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA(IB)), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA (IR)) and Income Support.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit is a means-tested system of support, and where an individual claims Universal Credit, their award is adjusted to take account of other financial support that the claimant is already receiving – including earnings, other income and benefits.</p><p> </p><p>Where claimants have income available to help meet their everyday living costs, their entitlement to Universal Credit is adjusted accordingly. This includes other benefits such as new style Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance and Carer’s Allowance, which are taken into account in full.</p><p> </p><p>There are no plans to change the treatment of Carer’s Allowance in Universal Credit.</p><p /><p>Carers on a low income who provide care for at least 35 hours per week for a severely disabled person can get an additional amount, as part of their Universal Credit award. Carers do not need to be claiming Carer’s Allowance to be eligible for the additional amount for carers.</p><p> </p><p>The 2022/23 rate for the carer addition in UC is £168.81 per calendar month.</p>
