Who can claim
Most working-age Knowsley adults will claim Universal Credit Full Service instead of ‘legacy’ benefits (those being replaced by Universal Credit) but there are some exceptions.
Check if you are eligible by using the Universal Credit Eligibility Checker.
You might move to Universal Credit if you have a change in circumstances which affects your benefits. This could be if you start or finish work, if your working hours change or if a partner moves in or out of your household.
If you have more than two dependent children
From 1 February 2019, Universal Credit will not include an additional payment for a third or subsequent child unless they were born before 6 April 2017.
Claimants with responsibility for children born before this date will receive an additional amount.
