  • Know and understand the detail of each of the six Elements of Universal Credit, and the circumstances that will be determine whether each element will apply.
  • Know and understand the Universal Credit journey for the people behind the process, including the challenges, risks and practical steps involved in making a claim, how to manage a claim day to day to avoid sanction, and how to respond if things don’t go to plan.
  • Know and understand the changes in circumstances that will (and won’t) lead to a natural move to Universal Credit from one or more of the six main ‘legacy benefits’: Housing Benefit, Income-based JSA, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income-related ESA and Income support.
  • Know and understand the impact of migration to Universal Credit (positive and negative).
