Full list of DWP benefits to be axed by 2024 including Income Support

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will be axing five 'legacy benefits' by 2024.

Universal Credit is set to replace a host of older benefits. The government confirmed that Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income Support and Housing Benefit will all come to an end by the final part of 2024. The migration from Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) to Universal Credit was pushed back to 2028 by the Chancellor.

Legacy benefits are being replaced due to “complex and inefficient systems based on ageing, inflexible IT”, according to the Department. If a person thinks they will be better off on Universal Credit, then they can take action to move straight away, the Express reports.
