<p>Since the introduction of The Universal Credit (Transitional Provisions) (SDP Gateway)
Amendment Regulations 2019, which came into force on 16th January 2019, claimants
who are entitled, or have been within the last month, to an award of an existing benefit
that includes SDP have not been required to move to Universal Credit; even if they
have experienced a relevant change in their circumstances. The draft Universal Credit
(Managed Migration Pilot and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019, which are
currently before Parliament, make provision for SDP transitional payments for those
eligible claimants who have already moved to UC and for moving existing legacy claimants
onto Universal Credit and implementing transitional protection.</p><p> </p><p>We are
currently considering the court judgment handed down on 3 May 2019.</p>
