DWP making six major changes for millions who claim Universal Credit ahead of Christmas

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that millions of Universal Credit claimants will be impacted by six impending changes, and is urging claimants to be aware of what they are.

As we head into the final three months of the year and towards Christmas, Universal Credit claimants will be affected at a time when bills are skyrocketing. The cost of living crisis continues to dominate conversation across the country, following new Prime Minister Liz Truss unveiling energy plans that mean households could pay almost double what they were in August 2021 for energy bills.

It remains to be seen how Liz Truss's appointment as prime minister will affect the DWP going forward. However, Universal Credit claimants can see the six changes coming to their benefits before the end of the year below, as reported by BirminghamLive.
