Welfare Benefits Legal Advice - Nucleus Legal Advice Centre

Welfare Benefits Advice

The social security system is complicated. The welfare system has faced and continues to face massive changes to the way it works.

The next big change is the roll out of Universal Credit, which will happen in automatic for new claimants and in phases for existing claimants.

We advise you to look at the changes which you think will affect you and then get advice.

Means-tested

Entitlement to these benefits and the amount you receive depend on how much income and capital you have. The particular needs of you and your family are also taken into account. You do not need to have paid any national insurance contributions.

Non-means tested

Usually your income and capital will not affect your entitlement. For some non-means tested benefits you will need to have paid enough national insurance contributions.

With Jobseekers allowance and also employment and support allowance, you could, in some cases, be entitled to both means-tested and non-means tested elements of the same benefit. For example, if you need additional help with housing costs.
