The payment itself - paid monthly, or twice a month for some in Scotland - is made up of a standard allowance, as well as additional amounts which may be available, depending on


circumstances. Universal Credit replaces Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA),


Working Tax Credit. In addition to the payment, it may be that Universal Credit recipients can also get other forms of financial support, and this will depend on circumstances. They may be
