CPAG in Scotland

This event is in the past

This course focuses on the transitional issues for claimants who are moving from legacy benefits and tax credits to universal credit (UC). It is expected that the majority of claimants in Scotland will be moved to UC under the managed migration process during 2024. Giving the right advice and support during this process can make a huge difference. In some cases, transitional protection is available, intended to ensure claimants are not worse off. This equips advisers with the knowledge to give advice on options and implications involved in moving from benefits and tax credits to UC.

The course covers:

The differences between ‘natural migration’ and ‘managed migration’ 

The migration notice and deadline day

Calculating the transitional element

Other transitional protection rules

The course is aimed at people with a working knowledge of the benefits system.
