The DWP is in the process of moving people on certain benefits to the single-payment Universal Credit. Claimants are being sent Migration Notice letters at different times depending on what benefit they are on
A three-week warning has been issued to everyone who receives Housing Benefit. The Department for Work and Pensions will start contacting these individuals from June about significant changes to their benefits.
These crucial letters should not be ignored as they inform claimants that they have a three-month window to apply for Universal Credit to ensure their transition. If this deadline is missed, their benefits will cease as the process is not automatic. Following this, in July, those on Employment Support Allowance with Child Tax Credits will be contacted, followed by Jobseekers Allowance recipients in September, reports Birmingham Live.
