May 2023 Universal Credit Roll Out

The roll out programme already extended to Avon, Somerset and Gloucestershire in April and is due to expand to East London and Cheshire this month. Now the DWP plans to extend migration for tax credit only claimants (in receipt of working tax credit and/or child tax credit, but not Employment Support Allowance, Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance or Housing Benefit) into Greater Manchester, East Yorkshire and the Humber from June 2023.

In addition, the Department said that it aims to have started migrating tax credit only claimants in every DWP GB region by September 2023 and in every jobcentre by the end of March 2024.
