Universal Credit Act 2025

The Universal Credit Act 2025 is a legislative framework governing the UK's main welfare benefit system that consolidates and modernises rules for how Universal Credit operates. The bill likely addresses administration, eligibility criteria, payment structures, and work incentives within the existing Universal Credit scheme. It would establish the statutory basis for recent policy changes and set out the government's approach to supporting workingage people, unemployed individuals, and those with reduced work capacity. The Act aims to clarify the legal framework within which Universal Credit is delivered.
