Hi petrocelli
Universal Credit is replacing 6 benefits called ‘legacy benefits’. These are:
Housing Benefit
income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
Child Tax Credits (CTC)
Working Tax Credits (WTC)
Income Support
You can’t usually make a new claim for these benefits.
Yes, legacy benefits refer to means tested benefits
