About Help to Claim
Our Help to Claim advisers can help you with the early stages of your Universal Credit claim. This is usually up to the point you receive your first payment.
Our advisers can help you:
-
work out if you can get Universal Credit
-
fill in the Universal Credit application
-
prepare for your first Jobcentre appointment
-
check your first payment is correct
If you have already received your first payment of Universal Credit contact our generalist advice team. Find details at http://www.snscab.org.uk/where-are-we/ or search for Citizens Advice Staffordshire North and Stoke on Trent: Generalist Advice Service in this directory.
