Shocking Revelation: 356,521 UK Households Lose Benefits as Migration to Universal Credit Continues

The UKs Department for Work and Pensions has reported that 356,521 households have lost their benefits after ignoring migration notices, moving them from legacy benefits to Universal Credit. This shift, initiated in July 2022, aims to replace six legacy benefits with a single Universal Credit system. Despite delays, the government plans to speed up the process, with migration expected to be complete by December 2025. Those who fail to apply for Universal Credit within three months lose eligibility for old payments immediately, but income support and housing benefit continue for two more weeks. The DWP has sent out 2,352,886 migration notices, with 1,985,703 successfully applying for Universal Credit. An enhanced support program for vulnerable individuals is being implemented.
