Magherafelt Jobs & Benefits office
Jobs and Benefits offices are closed for face to face services. Business is being done by phone or through the Universal Credit journal. Some face to face appointments will take place for customers who need extra support or if Universal Credit need to see you about your claim. It’s important you turn up if asked, as failure to do so may affect your payments. Safety measures are in place to protect customers.
