Need a Customer Service Number?

Overview You may be able to claim Universal Credit from the Universal Credit Customer Service, instead of certain benefits, if you are on a low income or if you are out of work. The Universal Credit Customer Service allows you or your partner to end your tax credits claim if you or your partner are claiming Universal Credit, even if you just moved in with a partner who is getting a Universal Credit. A Universal Credit is presented in stages, where you live and your conditions will identify you, if you can claim a Universal credit or not. You may start applying for Universal Credit online and it will take you 20-40minutes to complete your claim. What you will get There is a waiting period of 7 days from submitting your claim before your Universal Credit will start. Universal Credit is paid differently from current benefits. It will be paid once a month, and it is usually into your bank accounts, building society or credit union accounts. The amount that you will get from the Universal Credit Customer Service will depend on your circumstances and your income. It can include support for your housing, for your children and child care, if you are disabled or if you have a health condition and if you care for somebody with a disability. Contacting the Helpline You may claim your Universal Credit online, but if you need some help, if you have questions or if your circumstances change and you are already getting Universal Credit, then you may contact the Universal Credit Customer Service through their phone number at 0345 600 0723.

If you need more information about the Universal Credit, then check them out on their official website at https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/overview. More Information If you want to get Universal Credit, then you will have to accept a Claimant Commitment, which is an agreement that you will complete certain tasks in order to claim the Universal Credit and what you will agree to do will depend on your health, your responsibilities at home and how much help you need to get work or to increase your income. The Universal Credit will replace your jobseeker’s allowance, housing benefit, working tax credit, child tax credit, employment and support allowance and the income support, so it is also good if you will seek an advice from the Universal Credit Customer Service.
