Four groups of benefit claimants may be paid more as they are set to be moved over to Universal Credit shortly.
Officials at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have issued guidance on how people's finances will be affected if they have to move from their current welfare payments to Universal Credit. From this week, six legacy benefits are set to be replaced by Universal Credit as they are eventually phased out.
People will begin to receive 'migration notices' in the post to tell them what is happening with their benefits. While a lot of people will receive more money on Universal Credit, there is also a chance that you may be paid less.
