I am an income support claimant, I also get carers allowance. I was just wondering if people on income support were included in the postponement onto universal credit like those on income related employment support allowance. I know there was an announcement about this in the budget yesterday however, I couldn't find anything on income support claimants. Thanks in advance for answering this question.

Hi Canada

I'm afraid we can't tell you at this point because nothing was said in the statement.

There is nothing that mentions a postponement for IS claimants :-(

It is obviously however taking them much longer to move people over to UC than they had originally envisaged… I would arrange an appointment at CAB if you are worried about this, as they will be able to give you a full benefits check to see how you will be affected by UC.
