Don’t worry: ‘managed migration’ to Universal Credit won’t affect these benefits so feel free to scoff at the scaremongers.

Here’s the Mirror:

The DWP has published a full list of the welfare payments being switched off. There are six benefits in total that are being replaced by Universal Credit – this includes:

• Working Tax Credit

• Child Tax Credit

• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)

• Income Support

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

• Housing Benefit

This means if you claim other benefits, such as Pension Credit, Child Benefit, Personal Independence Payment, Carer’s Allowance or Attendance Allowance, your benefit payments will continue as normal. You also won’t be asked to move to Universal Credit if you only receive new style benefits, such as New-style Employment and Support Allowance or New-style Jobseeker’s Allowance.

So now you know.

If you are on any of the benefits that are tagged for migration – make yourself ready by collecting up the information you’ll need when the DWP’s letter comes through your door, and try not to avoid dealing with it if you’re among those who panic whenever you see a brown envelope (This Writer is familiar with that sensation).

If you aren’t, don’t let any scaremongers bother you.
