UC Overview, Part 2:

UC Overview, Part 2 teaches the Universal Credit claims process. It enables participants to help people make the most effective claims to UC including those with a range of access needs. After the break, the course goes on to look at the work related requirements in UC and what claimants must do to avoid a sanction. It enables participants to diagnose a claimant’s work related requirement group and give basic advice on how to avoid a benefit sanction.
