It describes fully: The basic qualifying conditions for universal credit (UC) and how to make a claim for it. How and when claimants on legacy benefits (including housing benefit) can be transferred onto UC, and if they are whether they qualify for transitional protection. Eligible rent and service charges in UC for private and social renters. The benefit cap and size criteria rules, including exemptions. How UC is calculated, including the detailed rules about the housing costs element, housing cost contributions for non-dependants, and how the two child limit works for the child element. How and when UC payments are made including when the housing costs element can be paid directly to the landlord with variations in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Loans for mortgage interest for out-of-work homeowners. The basic qualifying conditions for council tax rebates in England, Scotland and Wales, and for rate rebates in Northern Ireland. How council tax and rate rebates are calculated, including how local councils in England and Wales can vary these rules.
