DWP change for anyone moving to Universal Credit as claimants risk losing £4,130

The Department for Work and Pensions has launched a new tool to make it easier for people to switch over to Universal Credit , after thousands of benefit claimants missed out on their payments during the last 'managed migration.'

With a new web page to direct people to make the change over to Universal Credit, the ‘Move to Universal Credit’ website, it is hoped that fewer people will drop out of the system and more will continue with their claims. The DWP is set to ramp up its migration campaign over the next year, as benefits bosses set their sights on the next major phase of the move over to Universal Credit, with a planned national advertising push to make people aware of the move to the new system.

Who is likely to get a Migration Notice this year? The people who are likely to get a Migration Notice letter from this month are those claiming the following legacy benefits: Income-based Jobseekers Allowance will begin migration in September, with those on just ESA and ESA with Housing Benefit will be notified at an unspecified date.
