Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when everyone currently registered for receipt of state benefits in (a) Bristol South constituency and (b) England will have been fully transferred to universal credit.

The last new claims to legacy benefits and tax credits will be accepted during 2017. Following this, the Department will start to migrate the remaining claims to Universal Credit. We are on track with our plans for the national roll out of Universal Credit. I enclose a link to the overall roll out and expansion plans:
