Evidence checklist
To apply for Universal Credit, you will need some evidence. This includes things like an email and phone number, which you will need to access your account, but also depending on your circumstances details of your earnings, savings, accommodation costs, and any childcare costs.
Providing accurate information about how much you earn and what you spend on living costs is important to ensure that your Universal Credit payments are correct. We have built a tool to help you understand the evidence you need, and how to gather it.
This tool is only indicative. Always speak to a benefits adviser if you have questions about how to apply for Universal Credit.
