Universal Credit is a single monthly payment for people in or out of work. The difference with Universal Credit compared to the legacy benefits is that your rent is paid directly to you in monthly payments instead of your landlord. This gives you complete responsibility over your money and spending.
With Universal Credit, you will need to budget your money on a monthly basis rather than on a weekly basis. Many of our customers find it easier to set up a direct debit once you start receiving your benefit to automate your rent payments.
