How this works
This is an estimate using the 2026/27 Universal Credit standard allowances and the 2026/27 Local Housing Allowance rates for the Greater Liverpool area, published by the DWP. It is not a decision. What you actually get depends on your full circumstances and is decided by the DWP or your council. It does not include extra amounts for children, disability, caring or childcare, and it does not work out reductions for earnings or savings. For a full check, use the official benefits calculators on GOV.UK.
