answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department is committed to delivering managed migration in a way that supports all claimants, including those with mental health issues, as they transition onto Universal Credit. 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. These regulations are essential to ensuring that all claimants, including those with mental health issues, migrate onto Universal Credit smoothly.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 11/12/2018 13:30:31 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
