Universal Credit rolled out in Amble

Posted on 04th December 2018 | in Community

Universal Credit Full Service is being rolled out by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) across Northumberland with residents in Amble, Alnwick, Bedlington, Blyth and Hexham due to be included in the scheme on 12 December.

Northumberland County Council are working closely with local Housing Providers, Citizens Advice Northumberland, the DWP and other key local agencies to ensure residents receive any support and advice they need during this change.

Working age residents on existing means tested benefits and Tax Credits will only be affected if their circumstances change or they choose to make a new claim for Universal Credit.

Northumberland County Council Customer Services are offering digital support and Citizens Advice Northumberland are providing budgeting advice to residents who are affected by the change. To find out where your nearest help centre is, visit www.northumberland.gov.uk/UC or call 0345 600 6400
