Huge change to benefits and Universal Credit for thousands of people this month – check if you’re affected

A HUGE change to benefits and Universal Credit happens this month and thousands of people will be affected.

If you are currently claiming tax credits, you could receive a letter in the post this month asking you to move to Universal Credit.

The government is in the process of moving those on so-called “legacy benefits” such as tax credits onto Universal Credit.

The move, called “Managed Migration” began in May last year after a successful pilot in Harrogate in 2019.

This month, households in the following areas will be contacted by the Department of Work and Pensions and asked to move across to Universal Credit.
