U.C roll out

[Deleted User]

The end date for UC roll out has yet again been extended to 2022, supposably to give them yet more time to get it right.
There are growing calls for UC to be scrapped some now from Tory mp's.

Do you think that Working Tax credits will still end in 2017 despite this?

I will lose around £340 a month due to the change as I claim disability element.

New claims for WTC are expected to end by Summer 2018, they will close gradually between now and then.

Existing TC claimants will stay on tax credits until Summer 2019 when they will start to move across, finishing in 2022. Unless they have a change of circumstances that knocks them off tax credits before then.

Many thanks.

I've obviously misunderstood as I thought I was losing them in 2017 (assuming no change in circumstances) so this comes as a bit of a relief.

Does anyone have a revised link to what areas will be changing and when?

Only 8 years later than originally intended. That's nearly on time and on budget for a DWP system.:rotfl:

This tells you a bit - best I could find.

I've been reading about and the lack of coverage this has is disappointing.

A lot of the informative websites still have old information up.

I appreciate that.

I'm hoping they don't change their mind soon - I need those WTC's and if they have delayed until 2019 it gives me breathing space to have my surgery etc and hopefully be fully repaired for when this happens and I can work more hours.
