My son claimed universal credit for the first time at beginning of June 2019, he then got a job on the 4th July so he informed them, now they want to know if he had breaks in employment the 12 previous months before he claimed & If he was living with a partner. Why do they want this information if he wasn’t even claiming
thanks appreciate any help at all

Hi @adj050223.
Everyone gets asked this (usually just after their first assessment period). It’s to determine whether you are exempt from the benefit cap and that’s the only bearing it has.
Hope that helps but if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.1 -
Thanks that’s great1
