More claimants will start receiving Managed Migration notices from DWP next month
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced that more people on Tax Credits will start to receive letters inviting them to claim Universal Credit as the UK Government expands the migration of legacy benefit claimants to the modern IT welfare system.
Announcing the expansion in the latest edition of the Touchbase newsletter, the DWP said: “We continue to collaborate with key external stakeholders to develop and improve the move to UC Journey." The DWP continued: “Recently, following stakeholder feedback on help making a claim to UC, we added Help to Claim and Advice Local references to the Migration Notice and continue to test the effectiveness of the information contained within the Notice.
Every person in receipt of Tax Credits will receive a letter from the DWP inviting them to make a claim for Universal Credit. It is important that people claim by the deadline shown in the letter, also referred to as a ‘Migration Notice’, in order to continue receiving financial support.
