Major changes to benefits and tax credits could see some claimants losing their payments
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued Migration Notice Letters to certain households, informing them that their tax credits will cease on April 5, 2025. Recipients must act promptly to switch to Universal Credit, with safeguards in place to prevent financial loss. Those transitioning may qualify for transitional protection if their Universal Credit entitlement is lower than their previous benefits. It is crucial to apply within the specified deadline to avoid losing benefits and to adhere to the outlined rules to ensure a smooth transition.
