Hello,
How will people be notified about Managed Migration? I have read you get a Migration Notice through the post. Is this true as I don't want to be phoned in case I miss the call.

Thanks

    The gov.uk website seems to confirm this @Silver925 :) 
    The following 6 benefits and tax credits are ending for people of working age:
    • Child Tax Credit
    • Housing Benefit
    • Income Support
    • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
    • income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
    • Working Tax Credit
    You will be notified of when you will be asked to claim Universal Credit. All claimants will be moved to Universal Credit by 2024.

    If you currently receive these benefits, you will receive a Migration Notice letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This letter will inform you that your existing benefits or tax credits will be ending, and the date you must claim Universal Credit by.

    You will have 3 months to claim Universal Credit from the date of your Migration Notice letter.
