Hi, my name is SMITHMAN9! Working Tax Credits Query

SMITHMAN9

Hi, I am on working tax credits. I have heard from the media that all WTC Claimants will have to claim UC. I currently work 30 hours a week but it is not enough. I know DWP will say i am not a worthwhile business. I do have mental health issues including an issue with temper.
so I have health issues and have been on medication for 30 years. Will i have to look for other work. what will happen to me.

Hello @SMITHMAN9

Welcome to the community! How are you today?

Where was it you heard or read about this? Just so I can catch up myself as I haven't heard a lot about Working Tax Credits.

From the government's website here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/completing-the-move-to-universal-credit/completing-the-move-to-universal-credit--2

'we have revised our strategy for the migration of approximately 2.6 million households from legacy benefits and tax credits to UC by 2024. We still need to finalise our approach, particularly for managed migration....' 

I wouldn't be concerned, as that date could be pushed back too.
