The government is committed to supporting families on low incomes, including through Tax Credits and the new Universal Credit. Universal Credit will significantly simplify the benefits system for claimants, and ensure that it always pays to be in work and to work more.

Rates of these benefits, including the child element in Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit, are available via .gov.uk
