Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to extend the universal support scheme to cover Universal Credit managed migration; and if so, what additional funding will be made available to Citizens Advice for that purpose.

Our managed migration processes will develop gradually as we design them with our stakeholders, and we are working to ensure that we get our approach to support in this process right. Alongside this, other learning, including that from the delivery of Universal Support in new partnership with Citizens Advice, will feed directly into the managed migration pilot and we will consider how best to develop the broader Universal Support offer once the pilot is complete.
