The financial expert said if people fail to take action they will lose their payments within three months
Martin Lewis, the finance expert, has issued a three-word warning to DWP benefits claimants: "do not ignore". He has alerted thousands of individuals on benefits not to disregard an upcoming change that could lead to their payments being stopped.
However, to prevent a "cliff edge" for those transitioning, ministers arranged for the process to be phased over several years. He said: "On tax credits, housing benefit, ESA or similar? Don't ignore the crucial letter - you could lose your benefits. The Department for Work and Pensions is sending letters to many people saying you must now apply to switch to Universal Credit."
