The Government's Universal Credit (UC) Migration.
If you claim benefits you should have received a leaflet and a ‘UC Migration’ letter from your local council in December 2023.
Universal Credit is replacing 6 benefits called ‘legacy benefits’. These are:
- Housing Benefit
- Income Support
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
- Child Tax Credits (CTC)
- Working Tax Credits (WTC)
You can find more specific information about Universal Credit Migration (2023-2024) on helpful sites such a Citizens Advice and Turn2Us, a national charity who support anyone with financial concerns.
This is a national change to government issued benefits but if you need support with your UC claim, please contact our Universal Credit Officer who can offer you advice throughout this change. Visit our Universal Credit page for more information about Paying your Rent with Universal Credit or for support from our Universal Credit Officer.
