Martin Lewis issued an urgent update to people on certain benefits warning that ignoring a “crucial letter” from the DWP will stop their payments
Martin Lewis raised the alarm around a batch of letters being sent out by the Department for Work and Pensions . He particularly encouraged people not to ignore it or push it under the carpet for fear of what it means because not acting on their instructions will stop their benefit payments outright.
These include all six legacy benefit claimants, namely those on Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits, Housing Benefits, Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, Income Support and Income-related Employment and Support Allowance. These benefits are all moving over to Universal Credit and the letter explains the next steps claimants have to take in order to join the migration.
