Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for an updated timeline for the managed migration of individuals on legacy benefits to Universal Credit, including dates for when affected claimants in Northern Ireland will be notified and transitioned.

Answer:

My Department’s current priority is the migration of those households in receipt of Tax Credits to Universal Credit by April 2025.

Announcements on the Department’s plans for its completion of Move to UC for those remaining in receipt of income-based legacy benefits, will be made in due course.
