Universal Credit migration

If you are in receipt of a legacy benefit then have a significant change in circumstances it is likely you will move over to Universal Credit. 

 

The process of moving existing legacy benefit claimants over to Universal Credit has begun. The DWP have started to send letters to some legacy benefits claimants (these letters are called Migration Notices) telling them about the move. 

 

The full process of moving everyone over to Universal Credit is expected to be completed by 2025. For more information, visit Gov.UK
