Hi,Universal Credit is a means tested benefit and claiming this will depend on household income and savings/capital. It's replaced 6 legacy benefits. It's paid as one monthly payment and there's at least a 5 week wait for your first payment. Any housing benefit you claim will be transferred over to UC. Please see the link that explains it in more detail. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/before-you-apply/what-universal-credit-is/

Universal Credit is dogs breakfast of an idea by Ian Duncan Smith, a politician who does not live in the real world, and believes that most claimants are scroungers who have no sense of worth and believe the 'working class' whoever they may be, are only here to support his overpaid, way of life. Once the leader of the Conservatives, he said never underestimate the quiet man. We did and the quiet man has created food banks, homelessness, poverty for countless families, yet still advocates a policy of social deprevation, whilst drawing a salary as an MP, paid by the 'working class' and various directorships that effectively make him a millionaire. Need I say more?0
