There are various steps you must complete to make a successful claim for UC.

Couples both have to make a claim for UC and join them with a linking code.

UC is generally paid monthly into your bank account – but their are Alternative Payment Arrangements.

Advance Payments help with the ‘5 week wait’ or if you are on UC already and need extra help.

All UC claimants have to have a claimant commitment. It outlines what you have to do in exchange for receiving UC.

If you have an online UC account, you will manage your claim online to view your payments, report changes and contact your work coach.
