CPAG in Scotland

This event is in the past

This course looks at the universal credit (UC) rules that particularly affect ill or disabled people. It will equip you to advise clients about the transfer to UC, including through changes of circumstances such as failing a work capability assessment. You will also explore how conditionality and awards change as people move into work or become unable to work.

The course covers:

• Failing a work capability assessment – consequences for UC and tactics

• Claimant commitment before and after the work capability assessment

• How work affects the UC award

• Issues with claiming and being paid UC

• Claiming new-style contributory employment and support allowance

• Impact of the coronavirus outbreak

The course is aimed at advisers with a working knowledge of UC.
