The UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has warned citizens receiving letters instructing them to switch to Universal Credit that their existing benefits will end if they do not respond and claim within the three-month deadline. Eight million people are being notified to transition from Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, and Income-related Employment and Support Allowance to Universal Credit. If individuals do not respond in time, their benefits will cease.
