People on Arran and across North Ayrshire in receipt of benefits are being reminded that major changes are on the way.
The next phase of the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) rollout of Universal Credit begins on Wednesday November 22, which will see six benefits and tax credits replaced with a single monthly payment for the majority of working-age claimants.
Since 2015, a small number of people have been claiming Universal Credit in North Ayrshire. The new phase will be rolled out to a much wider group of people in late November.
