Details
This guide explains how people who claim Universal Credit will need to accept a Claimant Commitment before they can receive their benefit payments.
It covers what the Claimant Commitment is and how it will help claimants to find work. It outlines the kinds of things that claimants will be required to do in return for receiving Universal Credit, and shows how these depend upon each claimant’s individual circumstances.
The guide also highlights what will happen if claimants fail to do what they have accepted in their Claimant Commitment.
Part of the Universal Credit toolkit for partner organisations.
