Do I have to move to Universal Credit?
You don’t have to claim Universal Credit if you don’t want to, but once you get your Migration Notice your other old benefits will stop on the day before the deadline given. If you rely on the income from your benefits to manage your household budget, you will need to claim Universal Credit within the deadline to continue getting support.
