Leeds Information - Welfare Reforms

As I am sure you know, there are changes afoot with benefits such as Housing Benefit, Council Tax, and the introduction of a benefits capping system, amongst other things. Nationally, there will be the introduction of the single monthly payment of benefits - Universal Credit - which will replace the following means tested benefits; Income Support, Income Based Job Seekers Allowance, Income Related Employment and Support Allowance, Housing Benefit and Tax Credits.

These changes may affect you.

If you think this may be the case, please read the Welfare Reform Booklet or visit http://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/Pages/Housing-Benefit-Changes.aspx
for more information.
