The roll out of Universal Credit full service will change both the amount of Council Tax Support households receive and how much this will cost the council. To best support all households, councils must understand the full impact of moving on to Universal Credit full service in their area. Armed with this understanding, informed consideration can be given to scheme changes that support the most vulnerable households. In this webinar, we explain the detail of how Universal Credit affects the Council Tax Support that households receive, the impact on cost to the council, and offer some rules of thumb on typical winners or losers and who may need most support. Listen back to learn: - how to model the impact of Universal Credit in your CTR scheme
- why changing your CTR scheme for Universal Credit roll out is important
- how certain groups of households will be affected
- the impact on council spending
- what you can do to protect vulnerable groups
