Jobs and Benefits offices

Name: Jobs and Benefits offices
Address: ,

Jobs and Benefits offices are closed for normal face to face services. Business is being done by phone or through the Universal Credit journal. A small number of face to face appointments are taking place for customers who need extra support or if the Department for Communities needs to see you about your claim.

For the safety of customers and staff appointments are limited. You will be asked to wear a face covering and follow the safety measures in place. If you’re asked to come in to your local office for an appointment it is important that you turn up. Repeated failure to go to a face to face appointment or to make yourself available for a telephone appointment may affect your payments.

If you are unable to use our telephony or digital services we can arrange an urgent appointment in your local Jobs & Benefits office. To arrange an appointment contact the Universal Credit Service Centre
