New Universal Credit move will see 400,000 people lose their benefits

A change from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) will see thousands of people lose their benefits as all claimants are set to be moved over to Universal Credit by the end of 2024.

Government documents have revealed that as many as 400,00 people will lose their entitlement to any claims, with even those who can still claim becoming significantly worse off.

The documents also state that 900,000 people who keep their entitlement will receive less money than they do at the moment.
