    Hi @Music34

    You can still apply for UC after your migration date but it’s best to do it as soon as possible to avoid delays in payments. If you think you won’t have enough time to gather everything for your claim then you can contact universal credit and explain your situation. Sometimes they can allow a bit more time without affecting your claim!
