answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2020 answer text <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> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 01/12/2020 15:49:45 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
