Residents in South Derbyshire are being invited to a free drop-in session to get advice and support on Universal Credit.

Universal Credit will see six working age benefits (Housing Benefit, Income Support, Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance) replaced with a single monthly payment.

Members of the public are invited to learn more about the changes and the opportunities available to improve their skills and knowledge.

Experts will be on hand to offer guidance on what it all means for housing benefits and Council Tax as well as ways to manage money.

There will also be information about training courses to improve your IT skills, volunteering opportunities to build and develop experience to help you into work, help seeking employment and support with childcare.
