This change will affect Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), and Working Tax Credit, all of which are being replaced by Universal Credit. Universal Credit serves as a consolidated benefit system designed to simplify and unify support for over eight million claimants, according to the latest DWP figures and data from the Labour Party.
