Income Support, ESA and Housing Benefit among six DWP benefits to be scrapped by 2024

Universal Credit is set to replace six 'legacy' benefits that are provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

The DWP has confirmed that six benefits are set to be axed by 2024, reports Lancaster Live. These benefits include Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income Support and Housing Benefit.

This change will result in millions of benefit claimants being moved over to the umbrella of Universal Credit. The changeover first began in May 2022, following a postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic.
