Universal Credit Claim

Hello,

I have been advised by a Benefits Advisor that my son who is a young adult and newly diagnosed may receive Universal Credit whilst looking for work.

May I ask if any of you claim this and was it easy to claim for? It was also mentioned that he may require a fit to work assessment.  Have any members had to do this and what was involved may I ask?

My son gets very anxious and I'm concerned he will struggle with doing this so I have to help him.

Many thanks for any help.

  • universal credit is the standard unemployment... you dont need any evaluations, you just need to sign on, you need to agree to be looking for employment, at one time you had to prove to be looking for and applying for jobs but now they branded it discriminatory to prove that people on jobseekers (which is what it is) are seeking work lol
