Good evening,

I have Type 1 Insulin Dependent Diabetes and recently lost my job. I am going to begin to claim Universal Credit later in the week.

I am going to fully disclose my Type 1 diabetes to the JobCentre. Is there anything else I need to tell them?

What questions should I ask the DWP?

What if any benefits am I entitled to?

Thanks

Hello, universal credit info :-
Universal Credit
Universal Credit is a new simpler, single monthly payment for people looking for work or on a low income. It is replacing some of the benefits and tax credits you might be getting now. Whether you can claim depends on where you live and your personal circumstances.
