About the session
The DWP resumed the managed migration of people currently on legacy benefits last week after it was put on hold during the pandemic. The session will examine the implications of the resumption, looking at the lessons that could be learnt from the general role out of UC and the first wave of managed migration, which was piloted in Harrogate.
The hearing will also look at the impact of the rising cost of living on those claiming benefits and explore potential changes to the regulations governing further managed migration.
