Universal credit - managed migration
CPAG in Scotland
This course focuses on the transitional issues for claimants who are moving from employment and support allowance (ESA) to universal credit (UC). It is expected that all remaining claimants in Scotland will be moved to UC under the managed migration process during 2025. 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’
Transitional protection and the severe disability premium
Calculating the transitional element
The ‘enhanced support journey’ for ESA claimants
The course is aimed at people with a working knowledge of the benefits system.
