Money when you need it most….

From 4th April 2022 people at the end of their life can claim more financial support from the government.

The reforms cover:

  • universal credit; and
  • employment and support allowance.

There’s a revamped ‘fast track’ and the length of time you can get payments has gone up from six months to a year.

If successful, universal credit can be £354.28 per month and employment and support allowance, £117.60 per week.

Hopefully this will go some way to easing pressure on families at a difficult time.
