The DWP warns 500,000 benefit claimants to switch to Universal Credit from legacy benefits, emphasizing the need to respond to migration notices promptly to avoid benefit loss.
Responding within three months to migration notices ensures no financial loss during the transition as claimants receive transitional protection on Universal Credit matching legacy benefit entitlements.
Claimants receiving a migration notice must apply for Universal Credit promptly to continue receiving benefits like Housing Benefit, income-based JSA, income-related ESA, and Income Support.
