Universal credit - transferring from benefits and tax credits
CPAG in Scotland
This event is in the past
This course focuses on the transitional issues for claimants who are moving from legacy benefits and tax credits to universal credit (UC). With so many people needing extra financial support through the coronavirus outbreak, giving the right advice about whether someone needs to claim UC or when to claim can make a huge difference. This course is intended to equip advisers with the knowledge to give advice on the options and implications involved in moving from benefits and tax credits to UC.
The course covers:
• Changes that trigger a move to UC – ‘natural migration’
• Better-off issues and transitional rules
• How and when the government will move people onto UC – ‘managed migration’
• Transitional elements and protection
The course is aimed at people with a working knowledge of the benefits system.

11.15 - 11.45 break
11.45 - 1.00 training session delivered via Zoom
