Those on legacy benefits have been issued a warning
Households who still claim certain old-style benefits will be moved over to Universal Credit in the coming months.
During that time, over two million households were still claiming legacy benefits but the DWP has now set a deadline. By the end of 2024, they expect to have everyone moved over to Universal Credit.Most new claimants have not been able to apply for the legacy benefits such as Housing Benefit, meaning they may only apply for Universal Credit.
What happens when you move to Universal Credit? When it is your turn to be moved across to Universal Credit, you'll receive a "migration notice" in the post, to give you a three-month deadline to claim Universal Credit. If there's a change in circumstance such as a change to working hours or if they move home, they may be moved across to Universal Credit. The DWP claims 1.4 million people will be better off on Universal Credit, and 900,000 would be worse off, while the other 300,000 benefit claimants will see no change.
