DWP's Universal Credit Migration Notice: What You Need to Know

Benefit claimants across the country are receiving crucial letters from the DWP, urging them to switch to Universal Credit. The managed migration notice asks recipients of legacy benefits to apply for Universal Credit before their current payments stop. The deadline and extension requests can be managed through the Universal Credit Migration Notice Helpline. This transition is part of a larger plan to phase out other benefits like tax credits and income-related allowances. The DWP has provided special assistance for vulnerable claimants, with over ninety-five percent already moved to Universal Credit. Income Support and income-based Jobseekers Allowance will end in April 2026. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
