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.
