The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned that many benefit claimants could lose their support if they fail to act soon.
The government department will soon send out notices to Tax Credit claimants asking them to claim Universal Credit. It comes as the government announces its plans to expand the movement of legacy benefit claimants to a more modern system.
According to the government, legacy claimants will be better off moving to a new future-proofed modern benefits system. In some cases, however, an individual's entitlement to Universal Credit will be lower than their legacy benefits entitlement.
