<p>The Department does not hold data at constituency level on the number of claimants
who will naturally migrate to Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit Full
Service will be rolled out at Springburn Jobcentre on 31 October 2018. This will not
affect existing benefit entitlements for claimants whose circumstances remain the
same.</p><p> </p><p>Claimants will move from existing benefits to Universal Credit
through natural migration or managed migration. Natural migration occurs when they
experience a change in their circumstances that would trigger the need for a new claim
to benefit. Rather than continuing to claim a legacy benefit, the claimant will claim
Universal Credit and their Universal Credit award will be based on their new circumstances.
No one will have a reduced benefit entitlement at the point that they move over to
Universal Credit as a result of managed migration, and one million more disabled people
will get, on average, £110 more a week through Universal Credit.</p><p> </p>
