Make the move to Universal Credit

If you’re receiving certain benefits, at some point this year you will be sent a letter from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) asking you to move to Universal Credit in order to keep receiving financial support.

This page is a guide to help you understand if you’ll be asked to move, what you need to do and when you need to make the move to Universal Credit.

Please note that this section looks a bit different from the rest of our website as the content is provided by an external company that keeps it up to date with the most recent information about Universal Credit.  We hope you find it useful.
