People who claim Universal Credit are being urged to check if they need to report any one of 18 changes to their current circumstances.
Claimants of various benefits are legally required to update any changes or risk losing out, reports Cambridgeshire Live. Universal Credit is paid monthly - or bi-monthly for some in Scotland - by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The benefit applies to anybody on a low income, or with no income. To slim down the current benefits system, the DWP is replacing 'legacy' benefits with Universal Credit.
