Universal Credit- entitlement check??

kakay

Is there anyway to find out what you will be entitled to when the universal credit comes in this year?? I am really really concerned about it. I am a single mother, currently on DLA which i think i may lose. Really want to prepare myself if there is going to be a significant drop in how much i can live on. Can't find any actual answers. I know you can do a benefits check on what your currently entitled to, but is there no way to test what you will be entitled to??

DLA will not come under UC. Only Tax credits JSA and ESA income support/Incap benefit. Not sure how housing benefit will be treated, but council tax benefit is being stopped and replaced by something called council tax help and that will not come under it either.
THere was a UC calculator on here a few weeks back, but it is not accurate at present, so not really worth using. Neither will SSP/SMP/SPP. And there might be some others too.

ssp/smp/spp are paid by employers, and to qualify you must work , and earn an average of 107/week... (and for 26 weeks prior to 15weeks before birth)
