The Introduction of Universal Credit to Couples

Universal Credit was expanded to take new claims from some couples in five of the new live running sites (Inverness, Rugby, Bath, Hammersmith and Harrogate) on the 7 July 2014. The DWP intends to expand the areas taking claims from couples to every live running site later in the summer. The NHF have issued a briefing which covers:
·         Eligibility rules
·         Challenges the DWP will face
·         Our recommendations for ensuring a smooth roll out
·         The main impacts on housing associations and their tenants.
·         The introduction of Universal Credit to couples

Download the briefing from the NHF website.
