reason not allowed on UC was created by laura.dorans
my friend recently told me that they aren't allowed to put her on universal credit so what benefit do you get moved to if they can't put you on universal credit?

what illnesses and disabilities do you need have wrong with you so that they can't put you on universal credit?

Hi laura.dorans

To be eligible to claim UC; www.gov.uk/universal-credit

You may be able to get Universal Credit if you’re on a low income or need help with your living costs. You could be:

out of work
working (including self-employed or part time)
unable to work, for example because of a health condition

To claim you must:

~ live in the UK
~ be aged 18 or over (there are some exceptions if you’re 16 to 17)
~ be under State Pension age
~ have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments

Your friend will need to seek advice from a Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk they will be able to take all their circumstances into consideration.
