The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has urged Employment Support Allowance (ESA) recipients to apply for Universal Credit, as the former is being phased out.
Claimants have a three-month window to secure their application for Universal Credit; failure to do so will result in the halt of their payments.
The DWP is transitioning to a simpler benefits system by replacing six legacy benefits with Universal Credit, aimed at improving efficiency and accessibility.
ESA recipients often also receive Personal Independence Payments, highlighting the complex web of financial support for individuals unable to work due to health issues.
