Cuts to the Universal Credit health element

This summer the government announced a cut to the Universal Credit health element – better known as the limited capability for work and work-related activity element. The health element cut is scheduled to happen on 6 April 2026. It will see the health element drop from £423 to £217 a month for some new claimants. This cut won’t affect existing recipients of the health element. However, to be treated as an existing claimant, it is not enough to simply be getting Universal Credit before 6 April 2026. Your Universal Credit also needs to include an entitlement to the health element that started before that date. This means that some parents will need to take action well before April. There is a qualifying period of three-four months between submitting fit notes and entitlement to the health element beginning. In this webinar, our Family Finance Team explained these cuts in more detail, how they'll impact families, and what you can do to now. The webinar looks at: What the health element is and how you qualify for it. Which groups of new claimants will be protected from the cut in the health element. The steps disabled parent carers can take to ensure they are protected as an existing claimant, and the dates they need to do this by.
