Universal Credit changes could boost income by up to £630 a year

claiming Universal CreditThat’s because the changes we’ve made to make Universal Credit work better for you kick in from today, meaning you’ll now be up to £630 a year better off thanks to the decisions by this government.For example, since 2016 we’ve invested nearly £10billion into Universal Credit so that no one has to wait five weeks for a first payment. And by slashing the work allowances and taper rates, people can keep more of what they earn..

And the changes we have made mean that every child born before April 2017 will be supported by Universal Credit. But there are big problems with the flagship new system - it takes 5 weeks to get the first payment and it could leave some families worse off by thousands of pounds a year.
