Is there a proposed Universal Credit claim form available to view anywhere? Would like to see what will be involved if we help make online claims. Thanks.

There will not be a paper form at all.  Whoever does the claim it will be online.

Although presumably in the pilot areas there will be - even if DWP staff will fill it in rather than the claimant - if none of the IT is actually going to be up and running!

It was the online form I was keen to see. I thought there was to be one available somewhere but can’t yet find it anywhere.

you won’t find it online because the last thing they want is for people to make a claim :)

I am now hearing it takes 1.5 to 3 hours to fill in on-line.

If this is true then I doubt we are going to see an on-line example.

We might see a few heads rolling though…...
