Universal Credit: Disability

Question for Department for Work and Pensions

UIN HL12456, tabled on 19 December 2018

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether those currently in receipt of disability related benefits will be regarded as vulnerable claimants for the purpose of the Universal Credit managed migration process.

Answered on

7 January 2019

We are committed to fully support all of our claimants through our managed migration processes, which we are working with stakeholders to co-design to ensure that they work for the most vulnerable.

There are many reasons why someone could be vulnerable or in need of additional support, and we work hard to ensure that the support we provide for each claimant is tailored specifically to their circumstances, making individual assessments of the help that each claimant needs.
