‘Managed migration’ is the final phase of the rollout of Universal Credit, when the DWP will - in a controlled way - contact those who are still claiming legacy benefits to notify them that those benefits will be ending and invite them to claim Universal Credit instead.
The DWP began testing the managed migration process in Harrogate - called the 'Move to UC' pilot. This pilot started on 24th July 2019 but was suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Managed migration has re-started from 9th May 2022 - but on a small scale to begin with. Following this 'discovery phase' there will be an expansion in geographical areas and numbers. The target is to complete managed migration by the end of 2024.
