MSE "Benefits & tax credits" board.

As Tax Credits in the UK were abolished over a year ago now, in April 2026, isn't it time that the "Benefits & tax credits" board here on MSE was renamed?

I'd suggest that a suitable new tiltle, which isn't that much of a change, could be:
'Benefits & Pension Credit'.

Of course that might (or might not*) play hob with any existing weblinks to threads/posts on the board, if so then a redirect would be needed to take care of that.

*Edit- Looking closer it appears that only the board homepage itself would be affected, the individual threads are numbered and do not use the board title in their URL's.
