This guidance is only for people who live in one of the following areas and receive a letter from DWP advising them to claim Universal Credit:

The following 6 benefits and tax credits are ending for people of working age:

You will be notified of when you will be asked to claim Universal Credit. All claimants will be moved to Universal Credit by 2024.

If you currently receive these benefits, you will receive a Migration Notice letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This letter will inform you that your existing benefits or tax credits will be ending, and the date you must claim Universal Credit by.

You will have 3 months to claim Universal Credit from the date of your Migration Notice letter.
