Our focus for the process of the managed migration of existing benefits claimants to Universal Credit will be on safeguarding claimants and ensuring a smooth transition with uninterrupted support. We plan to have a comprehensive and well-supported preparation period for claimants, the flexibility to extend that period if necessary; and a process to ensure that, before the existing benefits are stopped, agents will check for evidence of complex needs or vulnerability or disability.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are working closely with stakeholders and other parties to design the best possible process for the migration of our customers to Universal Credit, and will continue to do so.<\/p>
