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.

  • I think that the online form has to be completed in 40 mins or less because the page automatically shuts down? It stuck in my mind because I'm quite slow at completing stuff like that. A Job Centre+ would, I believe, have to help anyone who struggled to complete a UC claim form themselves.
