If you're claiming state support such as Universal Credit, then there are important rules to know when it comes to going on holiday.
As the kids break up for summer many families will be looking to get away for a break, whether in the UK or overseas. Currently, there are around 5.8 million people claiming Universal Credit, with around 40 per cent of those working and using the benefit to top up low income. The others are either looking for a job, or unable to work because of health problems.
Those claiming the benefit will seen receive two cost of living payments totalling £650 and may use it to treat the family to a little trip away. However, if you don't follow certain rules then your money may be stopped and you may be made to cut your holiday short, reported BirminghamLive.
