For more information about any aspect of Universal Credit, including how to make a claim, visit Understanding Universal Credit. If you currently receive tax credits from HMRC please be aware that if you submit a claim for Universal Credit your tax credit award will end immediately.
If your tax credit award ends it cannot be re-opened, and it will not be possible to make a new tax credits claim in the future. If you are an existing tax credit claimant, this does not mean you will be automatically eligible to receive Universal Credit. If you submit a Universal Credit claim your tax credit award will be closed immediately, even if you are not eligible to claim Universal Credit.
There are some differences between the eligibility criteria for Universal Credit and tax credits, including but not limited to your savings and residency status. If you currently receive tax credits, please check the eligibility criteria for Universal Credit before you submit a Universal Credit claim. If your tax credit award has not ended, you will need to decide whether remaining on tax credits or claiming Universal Credit is better for you, based on your own personal circumstances.
You can use a benefits calculator to check your possible entitlement. However, your earnings and any payment you are getting from a pension can affect the amount you may receive. New-Style JSA can be paid for a maximum of days. If you are also receiving Universal Credit then your Universal Credit payments will continue as long as your other circumstances have not changed.
