An extra £22 million is being invested to extend free and impartial support for people making a Universal Credit claim.
This additional investment will ensure that support is available to help people make a new Universal Credit claim and manage their claim until they receive their first payment.
People will be able to access the support and advice online or by telephone. For those who are unable to access support via these channels, individuals will be able to contact their local Jobcentre, where staff will help to identify the right support to meet their needs.
