Managed migration starting September 2024

@apple85 I was meant to have commented earlier but got side tracked with things at home and then forgot.

Thanks for that link, it was an interesting read. I was already aware of some of it, especially the TP errors, concerning those migrating from Tax credits. This is because HMRC are rather slow in sending the information to DWP for the final figures, which then delays the calculation of TP. A lot of people haven't had that calculation in time for their first payment so it's then calculated after that first payment. There's been some members here that have had that issue. Including others on another forum which I'm a member of. It's certainly caused a lot of worry for many people.

Interesting to read about the Enhanced Support Journey too, which I'm hoping will help those that have severe mental health issues.

There will be ways around it for people like yourself, as I advised to you previously. With regards to agreeing to your commitments then you can do that through your journal. The only commitments you will have will be to agree to report all changes anyway, which is the same for your ESA.

so done some research on this and atm i get £636 on ESA but on UC it says i will only get £341.92/month ??

Hi everybody,

I am terrified about the migration.

Is there anybody who is trying to stop it? Whatis the new government doing?

Is any charity objecting the escalation of theprocess?

The dates 2028/29 were for a reason, I think theywill have backlog and people will be left without the payments orwill be reassessed, and lose the Severe Group and then will bewaiting for ever for Tribunals?

Does it mean that over the coming years they willnever increase for example my housing benefit, until all the disability premiums erode?? Thats madnes and pure robbery?

Were the later dates to give us sense of false security?

Is there nobody trying to stop this evil move?

I have written to my local Labour MP, what eles can we do?

the timetable move for the 2028/29 group to a September 2024 start date still hasn’t been 100% confirmed

by That I mean the official dwp page for uc managed migration rollout timetable is still showing the original 2028/2029 dates

At most we are still at the pencilled in stage (which is a bit ridiculous that nothings been confirmed yet only 7 weeks before these new dates are meant to come into - uncertainty produced from what looks like dwp disorganisation isn’t a great look imo)

common sense wise we know a third of legacy claimants haven’t successfully moved over to uc and the old ‘2028/29’ group includes some of the most vulnerable legacy claimants in the country (yet the dwp wanted to speed through the final most delicate part of migration to get to the finish line asap)

Personally if it was up to I’d pause uc migration for the rest of this calendar or financial year (jan or April 2025) then start the ‘2028-2029’ managed migration in jan-april 2025 with a completion date of April 2027 or April 2028 (make the migration period 24 or 36 months instead of the proposed 12 month timeframe (which was the plan even with the old 2028/29 dates))

what upsets me is that the Tory gov/dwp announced this timetable being brought forward & sped up plan less than 6 months ago causing extreme panic and anxiety amongst the disabled community - but now labour are choosing not to provide any updates or date confirmations leaving this community in limbo (so further anxiety from the uncertainty of what’s going on)

I know that some will say ‘Labour have just gotten in, give them a chance’ - but to me if they don’t have time to tackle rollout and give regular updates then you got to pause - the silence is deafening and honestly disrespectful imo
