Universal Credit redeclarations
As part of the Autumn budget in 2024, it was announced that Universal Credit claimants would be required to periodically redeclare their circumstances – as part of the anti-fraud and error measures. The DWP have now announced that this will start from April 2025.
‘…the department will prompt Universal Credit claimants to confirm whether they have had a change in circumstances that might affect their claim. Any changes in circumstances declared will be processed and verified in the usual way…A roll out of this initiative will commence in April and testing will help determine frequency.’
