Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said some people will not be moved
The Department for Work and Pensions has disclosed information regarding individuals exempt from transitioning to Universal Credit amid the shift from previous "legacy" benefits.
The DWP's newly launched Universal Credit transition website clarifies that those who only receive Housing Benefit and they, or their partner: For individuals at state pension age who are currently receiving Tax Credits, the DWP might request that they apply for either Universal Credit or Pension Credit, based on their specific circumstances. This is also applicable to mixed-age couples where one partner has reached the state pension age.
The official website states that if you are invited to claim Pension Credit or are already a claimant, you will be issued a Tax Credit Closure Notice. Should you be directed to claim Universal Credit, you have the alternative to claim Pension Credit instead, if you qualify.
