Managed Migration is the final phase of the roll out of Universal Credit.
It is where those claiming one or more of the ‘legacy’ benefits that Universal Credit is replacing are ‘invited’ to claim Universal Credit instead.
If you receive a legacy benefit such as Employment & Support Allowance, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance or Tax Credits when it is your turn to move onto Universal Credit the DWP will send you a ‘Migration Notice’.
This is a letter notifying you that your legacy benefit entitlement is due to end and inviting you to claim Universal Credit instead.
You don’t need to do anything until you receive your Migration Notice.
If you do receive one - don’t ignore it. Your ‘legacy’ benefits will end.
If you want some help with the migration process please call the office and ask for an appointment with our Welfare Rights Officers 0141 9592552 or email them at AdviceServices@wsha.org.uk
