Universal Credit is a monthly payment from the government to help people on a low income or who are out of work. It can help with:

• Your general living costs
• Housing costs
• The cost of raising children
• Disability or caring for someone

Whether you qualify and how much you get depends on your circumstances. There are also conditions you need to meet, like taking steps to find work if you're able to.

Here's a quick summary of what it's like being on Universal Credit:

• Financial Support: It helps top up your income if it's low.
• Conditions: You may need to look for work or take steps to increase your earnings.
• Application: You need to claim it online.
• Payments: Paid monthly (or twice monthly in Scotland).

If you're thinking about claiming Universal Credit, it's a good idea to check if you're eligible
