There are a number of locations that have already received notices and should have moved over to Universal Credit already. A number of others should have received notices but still have time to make the move. This is the full list of locations and when they started receiving letters: From April, 2023 From May, 2023 From June, 2023 Greater Manchester North East Yorkshire Humber From July, 2023 Kent North London Durham and Tees Valley East Anglia From August, 2023 West Scotland West Yorkshire Staffordshire Derbyshire South London From 2022 Harrow Bolton Falmouth Medway Cornwall Northumberland Households across Great Britain will continue to receive Managed Migration notices from September this year.
