#Coronavirus: What you need to know about today's announcement on benefits. (1/5)

We are doing whatever is necessary to ensure people are supported through these unprecedented times. That is why #UniversalCredit is rising by £1,040 a year from today - and Working Tax Credit is going up, too. (2/5)

We are providing more support for benefit claimants in the Private Rented Sector by increasing Local Housing Allowance rates, helping to alleviate affordability challenges. (3/5)

We are temporarily relaxing the Minimum Income Floor for all self-employed #UniversalCredit claimants affected by COVID-19. This means if your earnings drop, your UC payment will rise to top them up. (4/5)

Carers won’t lose out on their entitlement during the #Coronavirus outbreak due to a break because of isolation. They will continue to receive their Carers Allowance in full during this time. (5/5)
