Urgent - Fake Universal Credit App
There is a fake Universal Credit app circulating that mimics the appearance of official government web pages, potentially misleading users.
The app falsely claims to allow users to manage their Universal Credit accounts, including applying for an advance payment, viewing statements, and making changes to their account.
However, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that no such app exists for managing Universal Credit. Customers should be cautious and avoid downloading or using this app, as it could lead to fraud or identity theft. Always use official government channels to manage your benefits.
