Households earning £50,000 encouraged to claim Universal Credit

express.co.uk

Households earning up to £50,000 may be eligible for Universal Credit, a benefit often associated with low-income individuals. This program can provide additional support, including housing costs and childcare benefits, regardless of higher earnings. Universal Credit replaces various benefits and offers tailored support based on individual circumstances. There is no strict income limit, but savings over £16,000 disqualify applicants. Claiming Universal Credit can also grant access to other forms of assistance, such as free childcare hours. Individuals are encouraged to use the government’s benefits calculator to assess their eligibility and potential benefits.
