Universal Credit support in Brighton & Hove

Universal Credit was introduced in Brighton & Hove for people living alone making new claims for Jobseeker's Allowance in December 2015, and was introduced for new claimants in the city between October 2017 and January 2018. You do not need to do anything - the Jobcentre will tell you if you need to apply for Universal Credit.

It was introduced on 4 October 2017 for people in the BN3 postcode area, 29 November 2017 for BN2, and 17 January 2018 for the BN1 and BN41 areas.
