The UK Government has introduced Universal Credit for people who are on a low income, whether in work or not, and replaces the following benefits:
The Government plan to move everyone on working age benefits over to Universal Credit between November 2020 and December 2023.
Under current plans, the DWP will write to you to let you know your old-style (legacy) benefits are coming to an end and that you will need to make a new claim for Universal Credit. If you don’t make a new claim within a certain amount of time, you will lose your old benefits and not receive any new benefits.
Currently you will only receive Universal Credit if you are making a new claim for benefits or have a change of circumstances.
If you have any questions about benefits or need advice or support, please get in touch with our team, who will be happy to help you.
