If migration started was created by Sidhu123
Hello, is it true that Upto 500 people have been made to start the UC migration from ESA which was supposed to start on Sept? There is a Chanel who gives benefit news and they have stated that they started this but have been told to hush and not make it public. Can they do this as it was announced legacy benefits would start in sept 24 onwards for the changes

Hi S123
Yes it is true, I believe it was ESA tax credit claimants, I believe I read it on Hansard so it is in the public domain.
Yes they can do it, (test and learn) the main push starts in Sept.

You do not have to migrate if there has been no changes in your circumstances once you get a letter go straight to a welfare rights place and they will stop the migration I was told this as fact by my link worker hope this helps

Hi Karen
You are not correct, if you are invited to claim UC as part of the managed migration process, you will have at least 3 months from the date you receive your migration notice to make a claim for UC (this is known as your deadline day). If you make a claim after your deadline day but before your final deadline day (a month after your deadline day) you will be treated as making a qualifying claim from the deadline day.
If you fail to make a claim before your final deadline day, your legacy benefit will stop.

My link worker has advised me incorrectly she said if there’s been no changes in circumstances I don’t have to migrate I am dreading this it’s overwhelming thanks for the facts

Hi Karen,
Gary is correct - not your link worker. If you don't migrate within 3 months, your benefits will cease to be paid.
