Households who still claim certain old-style benefits will be moved over to Universal Credit in the coming months.
This comes as Universal Credit is replacing six benefits in the UK after the mass transfer was paused due to the pandemic. However, as the Mirror reports, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) resumed it in May 2022.
During that time, over two million households were still claiming legacy benefits but the DWP has now set a deadline. By the end of 2024, they expect to have everyone moved over to Universal Credit.
