I’ve received a Universal Credit Migration Notice letter, what do I do?

Make sure you read what is in the letter. If it’s telling you to claim Universal Credit, this will not be done automatically, so it’s important to follow the instructions in the letter, otherwise your benefits will stop by the deadline in your letter.  

If you claim Tax Credit and recently renewed your claim, you still need to claim Universal Credit after you get a notice letter.
