    Six income related working age legacy benefits are ending and being replaced by Universal Credit. It has been a long process scheduled to be completed by December.

    • Housing Benefit
    • income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
    • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
    • Income Support
    • Child Tax Credits (CTC)
    • Working Tax Credits (WTC)

    Universal Credit is an effort to simplify the system by rolling up several systems into one central monthly payment.
