THE Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has extended the deadline for thousands of benefit claimants to make a compulsory switch to Universal Credit.<\/p>\n
It comes as the\u00a0government\u00a0plans to\u00a0move all legacy claimants on to Universal Credit\u00a0by the end of March 2025, under a process known as managed migration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The process began in May last year and came after a successful pilot in July 2019.<\/p>\n
Eligible\u00a0households\u00a0are being contacted via letters in the post which tell them how to make the move from tax credits to Universal Credit.<\/p>\n
Once you receive a letter, you have three months to move over, or you could lose your current benefits.<\/p>\n
But in the latest DWP Touchbase newsletter, the department has confirmed that thousands have had their deadlines to move extended.<\/p>\n
