A certain amount of rules must be followed by Universal Credit claimants if they travel abroad while on benefits.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has outline the guidelines for those who claim the benefit, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Those on Universal Credit can continue to claim one months worth of benefits while abroad, as long as they are eligible.
People must remain eligible while overseas, and inform their work coach that they are going away too. However, the DWP has warned that you cannot continue to claim Universal Credit if they move to a different country permanently, and also cannot apply if they are abroad already.
