🚨 Attention Benefit Claimants! 🚨
Are you on Universal Credit? Make sure you’re in the know about reporting changes, or you might face fines or even court!
The DWP requires you to tell them about changes to ensure you get the right amount each month. Missing out on this could mean repayments or penalties. 🔍
Here are the 16 changes you should report ASAP:
1️⃣ Getting or leaving a job
2️⃣ Having a baby
3️⃣ Moving in with your partner
4️⃣ Starting to care for a child or disabled person
5️⃣ Changing your contact info
6️⃣ Moving house
7️⃣ Updating your bank details
8️⃣ Change in rent
9️⃣ Health changes affecting work
🔟 Self-employed income changes
1️⃣1️⃣ Changes in savings or investments
1️⃣2️⃣ Immigration status changes if you’re not a British citizen
✈️ Planning a holiday? You can get Universal Credit for one month whilst abroad, given you remain eligible and inform your work coach. If needed, it’s extendable by another month if a close relative passes away.
No Universal Credit if you’re moving abroad permanently, though!
🖥️ Report these changes via your Universal Credit account on GOV.UK to keep everything above board.
Avoid unnecessary stress and stay informed by keeping DWP updated with your ever-changing circumstances! 📢
Stay savvy and share with anyone relying on Universal Credit. Let’s help each other out! ✌️
