Changes in circumstance and reclaims

Changes in circumstance may mean you no longer need to claim Universal Credit. If this happens, you can cancel your claim online through your Universal Credit account or by telephone. If you later need to claim again, your Universal Credit account will remain open for 6 months after you first ended your claim. This means that you can reclaim your old account online or by telephone. If six months or more have passed since your first claim, you will need to begin the claims process over again.
