People claiming Universal Credit can be forced to return home from holiday by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or risk having their payments stopped.
As reported by Birmingham Live, there are approximately 5.8 million people throughout the UK who claim Universal Credit. People claiming the benefit are also eligible for the £650 cost of living payment, the first instalment of which will be paid into accounts this month.
With people across Scotland heading off for a summer getaway, there will be many Universal Credit recipients who are out of the UK. It is important that those who claim benefits from the DWP are aware of the rules before going on holiday.
