Training
This course is perfect for all staff working with anyone who is claiming Universal Credit to gain a deeper understanding of how UC is calculated.
AIMS:
This training looks at how income and capital can affect an award, how UC works for workers, families, and for those with health problems. Learners will investigate where things can go wrong, how claimants miss out on the UC they are entitled to and how to help them prevent problems / put things right. This will be achieved with the use of case studies testing the delegates with real calculations. We look at changes in circumstances and how and when this affects a claimant’s award.
