Managed migration to Universal Credit set to start for people on certain benefits next year
The UK Government has announced that it “remains committed” to completing the managed migration move from legacy benefits to Universal Credit within the planned timescale. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced in November that people on Employment and Support Allowance alone will not be moved from the older IT system to Universal Credit until 2028/29.
In a newly published report, reviewing the Discovery Phase of the managed migration process, DWP said the moves in 2024/25 will allow HM Revenue and Customs to close down the Tax Credit system for those of working age and DWP to close down Income Support and JSA, “generating savings for taxpayers”. In January 2022, DWP restarted the design work on managed migration with a Discovery phase - the focus being to learn how to successfully move people on legacy benefits to Universal Credit.
