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.
