Key Benefits Available at Langside Jobcentre Plus
The Langside Jobcentre Plus office provides information and support for a wide range of benefits and financial assistance. Some of the most frequently claimed benefits in the Langside area include the following.
Universal Credit is the main working-age benefit for people on a low income or out of work. It replaced six older benefits including Housing Benefit, Working Tax Credit and Income Support with a single monthly payment paid directly into your bank account. Universal Credit can be claimed whether you are in work or out of work, with the amount adjusting automatically as your earnings change.
Adult Disability Payment (ADP) has replaced Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in Scotland and is administered by Social Security Scotland rather than the DWP. ADP provides financial support for people aged 16 to State Pension age with a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability affecting their daily life or ability to get around. For information about ADP contact Social Security Scotland on 0800 182 2222.
Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) provides financial support for people who are out of work and actively seeking employment. New Style JSA is based on your National Insurance contributions and can be claimed alongside Universal Credit in some circumstances.
Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) provides financial help for people who are unable to work due to a health condition or disability. New Style ESA is contribution-based and is assessed through the Work Capability Assessment.
Carer's Allowance is available to people providing at least 35 hours of unpaid care per week to a disabled person. Scottish residents receiving Carer's Allowance may also be entitled to the Carer's Allowance Supplement, administered by Social Security Scotland.
Pension Credit tops up the income of people over State Pension age who are on a low income. Receiving Pension Credit also unlocks entitlement to other support including Housing Benefit, a free TV licence for over-75s and help with NHS costs.
Budgeting Loans from the Social Fund provide interest-free emergency financial assistance for people on certain benefits facing unexpected essential costs, repaid through future benefit payments.
