Find out if you're among those due to receive a boost
Four specific groups of benefit claimants are set to get a boost after they are moved over to Universal Credit from their existing Department for Work and Pensions benefits.
As reported by Birmingham Live, the latest stage of the migration began this week. The DWP is phasing out the following six benefits, with claimants being moved over to Universal Credit:Child Tax Credit Housing Benefit Income Support Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance Income-related Employment and Support Allowance Working Tax Credit Those affected by the change will receive a Migration Notice in the mail, informing them that their benefits will be ending.
The DWP states: "On Universal Credit, most people will be entitled to the same amount they received from their previous benefits or more. If the amount you are entitled to on your existing benefits is more than you will get on Universal Credit, a top-up is available. This is called transitional protection.
"Any transitional protection you receive as part of your Universal Credit claim may stop if you have a change in circumstances once you've made your claim."
