Uc tap form8/23/2023 To further support claimants in making an informed choice about moving to UC a range of information is available. We are mindful that working tax credit recipients would no longer be constrained by the 16-hour cliff edge. With work at the heart of UC, we also include some case studies showing how claimants can increase their disposable income by entering or extending work. We set out examples of claimants’ circumstances for those likely to have lower or higher UC entitlements than they receive now with illustrative case studies. In this document, we set out our modelled analysis on estimated benefit entitlements and employment outcomes between UC and legacy benefits, including the types and numbers of claimants who could benefit financially by moving to UC. We estimate more than half of current claimants will be better off. We want to encourage people who could be better off financially to consider moving to UC. Legacy claimants can also choose to move by making a claim for UC (and by default closing their legacy claim) but should only do this if they think they will be better off on UC. They would then naturally migrate to UC and any legacy claim will be closed. If claimants experience a change in circumstances while on legacy benefits which previously required a new claim to another legacy benefit replaced by UC, they will need to make a claim to UC. Natural migration has been in place since the introduction of UC. We will complete the implementation of UC with a three-track approach – natural migration, voluntary migration (“choose to move”) and managed migration. Informed by learnings from our initial pilot and throughout the pandemic, the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP) will resume the roll out and complete the implementation of UC by 2024. In March 2020, work was paused on moving those claiming legacy benefits (“legacy claimants”) to UC - known as managed migration - to focus on our response to the pandemic. A dynamic benefit that reflects people’s needs from month to month, UC successfully supported millions of people and processed a ten-fold surge in claims during the pandemic, when legacy systems would have collapsed. By improving work incentives and support, UC helped deliver the highest ever level of employment seen in this country just before COVID hit. Since first being introduced in 2013, Universal Credit ( UC) has streamlined and simplified the benefits system to better support those in work on low incomes, as well as those who are unemployed or who cannot work.
