The Universal Credit Guide is a core output from a research collaboration between UC:Us participants, the universities of York and Ulster, Housing Rights and Law Centre NI. The research was funded by ESRC. Although it has not been involved in the production of this claimants’ guide, UC:Us would also like to thank the Joseph Rowntree Foundation for funding the initial participatory research project that brought us together and for supporting our engagement with policymakers.
