<p>The information requested is not available because claimants who naturally migrate
to Universal Credit will do so because they will have had a significant change in
their circumstances which previously would have led to a new claim to another existing
benefit. In these situations, it has always been the case that the assessment of their
new benefit will be based on their new circumstances and under the rules of their
new benefit. We do not centrally collate the number of claimants that have made a
new claim to Universal Credit as a result of such a change in circumstances.</p><p>For
people considering claiming Universal Credit, we have updated our information on gov.uk
and on understandinguniversalcredit.gov.uk where links to independent benefit calculators
can also be found.</p>
