Universal Credit Claim Review
Summary
The review of a Universal Credit (UC) claim closure is managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). If you disagree with a closure, you can request a Mandatory Reconsideration, reviewed by a different decision maker. Regulations 37, 38, and 41 outline claimant commitments and exceptions for health conditions. Conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression may qualify for exceptions if they impact work ability. The DWP assesses severity based on medical evidence. Managed migration from legacy benefits to UC may not require a new health assessment, but claim closure could affect transitional protection. The DWP must notify claimants of missing information before closing a claim. ID verification for UC does not require face-to-face interaction and can be done through various methods. For the latest guidance, refer to the DWPs updates.Full Conversation
