Universal Credit claimants may be able to boost their income by as much as £1,600.
Millions of Brits currently claim the benefit, because they are out of work, unable to work or on a low income. It is a lifeline for households across the country, and therefore it's important for people to know whether they're receiving the correct amount.
Currently, Universal Credit is made up of a standard allowance, as well as other top ups which a person receives according to circumstances, the Express reports. The standard allowance for a single person under 25 is £265.31 monthly, rising to £334.91 for singletons over 25.
