Universal Credit: Wales
(asked on 9th May 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Wales received additional payments as a result of moving from Severe Disability Premium to universal credit without transitional arrangements.
This question was answered on 17th May 2019
The draft Universal Credit (Managed Migration Pilot and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019, which are currently before Parliament, make provision for Severe Disability Premium transitional payments for those eligible claimants who have already moved to UC.
Following the High Court judgment on 3 May, in relation to Universal Credit and these regulations, we are considering our options.
