The DWP has been moving some people to Universal Credit via the managed migration system
The Department for Work and Pensions is set to provide some claimants with "transitional" payments during significant life changes. As part of the managed migration scheme, the DWP is transferring some individuals from legacy benefits to Universal Credit.
It explains: "Your Universal Credit entitlement is assessed every month, based on your current circumstances. This is known as an assessment period. When a claim is made and verified, the transitional element is calculated using a Universal Credit amount that's based on your known circumstances from the day before your claim. This amount is referred to as the 'indicative Universal Credit award'.
"The indicative Universal Credit award, including the transitional element, is an estimation based on your circumstances the day before you make your Universal Credit claim," reports Birmingham Live. The transitional element is calculated using information you give us in your Universal Credit claim and your existing legacy benefits information.
