The government have started drawing up plans to move 1.7million benefit claimants onto Universal Credit.
The changes are set to start in a matter of weeks. The transfer was put on hold due to Covid - but it is understood that ministers plan to restart it this spring, reported The Mirror.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will start with a small number, with a cap of up to 10,000 households, of Tax Credit claimants. They will then remove the cap and move onto disability and other benefit claimants.
