The DWP has issued a warning to anyone who claims these two benefits
A "high alert" warning has been sparked for individuals receiving Employment and Support Allowance and Personal Independence Payment , as the Department for Work and Pensions announces plans to shift benefit recipients onto Universal Credit through its "managed migration" strategy.
They cautioned further: "However, this protection is only available if you respond to the DWP's Migration Notice in time and make your claim before the deadline. Any changes in circumstances could also impact how much you receive. The process of managed migration is already underway, and those affected by the changes need to ensure they act quickly."
They add: "Failing to respond to the DWP letter within three months risks losing the support you've relied on. The sooner you make the switch, the sooner your current payments can be protected under Universal Credit, including any transitional protection that might apply."
