Martin Lewis issues urgent Universal Credit warning for 1.4million people
"Check NOW, but do read the warning below before taking action."
To see if you qualify for Universal Credit you can use MSE's 10-minute benefits calculator or head to the gov.uk website. You'll be asked questions based on your income and other support you get so make sure you're as thorough as possible.However, it's important to bear in mind that switching might not be the best option for you.
Martin said: "If the calculator shows it may be worth switching, don't just do it, as once you apply to switch to UC you can't change your mind, even if it turns out to be far worse.
