Millions of people are estimated to claim Universal Credit in the UK. The payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are a lifeline for many families - and this has especially been the case throughout the pandemic.
But what's not as well known is that Universal Credit is a gateway to 30 additional benefits, The Daily Express reports. Claimants of Universal Credit are encouraged to check they're making the most of the financial support that's available.
The benefits could help save you money and include reduced travel, free broadband and Healthy Start Vouchers. It is estimated that around one million households are eligible for a free broadband installation from OpenReach, a huge saving on what typically costs around £92 to install.
