Btw The benefits office that covers my area are usually very helpful... or so I have been told by people who need help from them!
I do know a little about benefit claims, my sister has worked in that field for many years!

Remember many terrorist claim to have mental health problems when caught!
I don't know anybody who gets Universal credit, so I have no idea what it is, or why they get it. I was just saying that there must be ways of getting help if you don't have a phone. If not and you are so concerned, why don't you help them?
Erm with respect Twink, it must be a little. Here you go:
From the Universal Credit Website at Gov.UK
What Universal Credit is:
Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs. It’s paid monthly - or twice a month for some people in Scotland.
You may be able to get it if you’re on a low income, out of work or you cannot work.
If you already get other benefits
Universal Credit is replacing the following benefits:
Child Tax Credit
Housing Benefit
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Working Tax Credit
