The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced plans last summer to complete Managed Migration of legacy benefits to Universal Credit by the end of 2024.
Managed Migration will happen when people getting legacy benefits have their claim transferred to Universal Credit if there has been no change in circumstances before the start of the process.
On this week’s Martin Lewis Money Show Live, the financial journalist addressed the question of whether the three million people still currently on any of the six legacy benefits should ask to be moved on to Universal Credit and explained the risks involved if you choose to do it.
