What is happening with the moving from tax credits to UC?

Our area has been receiving UC for 2 or 3 years now, there was talk of people on Tax Credits being moved on to UC a long time ago, but I have still heard nothing.
Has the coronavirus effected the timescale and is there any indications of just when people on Tax Credits will be moved to UC?

    It could be a few years yet before you'll be invited to claim it, unless a change of circumstances prompts a move before then.

    Thanks, we only get Child Tax credits now and youngest only has another 1 year+ at college so it will all probably end before we are moved on to UC by the look of it.

    Managed migration is currently suspended. Current plan is, Ithink, to resume next April. OBR predicts an end date of 2026.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
