The UK supports the work of MINURSO.

Managed migration will begin in 2019 with a lengthy and robust period of at least a year to learn and adapt and ensure our processes are working well before we begin to migrate at scale. We are working closely with a large and diverse number of stakeholders, including those who focus on mental health issues and are seeking their input on the design of the managed migration process to ensure that vulnerable claimants are fully supported.</p><p> </p><p>The draft Universal Credit (Managed Migration) Regulations 2018, which were laid before Parliament on 5 November 2018, provide the flexibility necessary to support this collaborative design process.
