Universal Credit Guidance Documents

Hi

I’ve been browsing the https://universalcreditinfo.net/issues/appeals and it has the govt guidance document on it.

However, I cannot find a list of them on the gov.uk website or anywhere. Is there anywhere I can see a full list of them? I’m a relatively new welfare right adviser so still trying to navigate my way through them.

I’ve seen some “technical guidance” docs for ESA and Pension Credit but that was by chance (does each benefit have the technical guidance documents?)

Thanks

Adam

Hi

See here for the Advice for Decision Makers: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advice-for-decision-making-staff-guide

and the more practical UC Guidance also referred to has been deposited at the House of Commons Library, and the best way to access this is via a very helpful Rightsnet index, here: https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/universal-credit-guidance

And for older benefits such as Pension Credit the DWP guidance is here https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/decision-makers-guide-staff-guide

Excellent.

Thank you both!

The UC guidance in the House of Commons Library has been updated and is now all listed in our resources section

New items include -

Biographical checks
Coronavirus resources
Claimants who must pay housing costs without having a tenancy
Commercial tenancies
Consent and disclosure including when to share with third parties
Eligibility for housing support
List of UC trusted partners
Payment overview
Social rented sector
Supported accommodation
The size criteria for renters
Youth offer

Thanks for letting me know, Daphne
