The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that more people on Tax Credits will start to receive letters inviting them to claim Universal Credit (UC) as the UK Government expands the migration of legacy benefit claimants to the modern IT welfare system.
This month, people on Tax Credits-only in Kent, North London, Durham & Tees Valley, and West Yorkshire will receive Managed Migration Notices from DWP. In August, it will expand into the West of Scotland, Staffordshire & Derbyshire, and South London.
The ‘West of Scotland’ region consists of the constituencies of Clydebank and Milngavie, Cunninghame North, Cunninghame South (North Ayrshire), Dumbarton, Eastwood, Greenock and Inverclyde, Paisley, Renfrewshire North and West, Renfrewshire South, and Starthkelvin and Bearsden. Informally, this region covers Argyll, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire, and Renfrewshire.
