Evrensel Kredi uygulamasının yararlanıcılara ilişkin etkisinin anlaşılabilmesi için bu uygulama tüm yönleriyle ele alınmış ve eski sistemle arasındaki farklılıklar detaylandırılmıştır. Birleşik Krallık‘ta sosyal yardımların çalışma karşılığı verilmesi kararlaştırılan uygulamanın refah reformunun yararlanıcılara ilişkin etkilerinin seçimi, The Poverty Alliance’ın Evrensel Kredi’nin uygulanabilirliğine ilişkin yürüttüğü geniş kapsamlı araştırma raporlarına dayanmaktadır. Etkilerin tasnifinde uygulamaya ilişkin araştırma raporlarında ön plana en çok çıkan başlıklar esas alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda Evrensel Kredi uygulamasının yararlanıcılarda yarattığı etkiler; farklı aile kompozisyonları, sisteme çevrimiçi başvuru, başvuru esnasındaki taahhütler, ödenme şekli ve sistemin yarattığı duygusal etkiler bakımından beş başlık altında sınıflandırılarak ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca etkilerin yukarıdan aşağıya doğru sınıflandırılmasında belirli bir sistematik takip edilerek yararlanıcıların yüzleştiği ve yüzleşebileceği etkilerin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi hedeflenmiştir
