Tax credits transfer to universal credit

[LovelyBath77]

Anyone know when this is actually going to happen? I saw online from 2019 to 2023 which is a bit vague. The migration I mean from tax credits to UC.

I don't think they will scrap UC if that's what you mean LovelyBath77

No probably not. Wondered if might cause any delays or changes. When you look online at the calculator compared to tax credits it seems to be a lot harsher in terms of how it reduces as the income increases. I'm not sure though but that's how it seems anyway.

It's not harsher ,only in the sense that sanctions are harsher. There are also no disability premiums on Uc except for child ones if a child is on DLA. There are also no severe disability premiums as there is on ESA but they are looking to amend this in the Autumn I think. Childcare help is actually more on UC. On UC for every extra pound you earn you get to keep 37p so people should be better off the more hours they do.

Oh well that doesn't sound so bad.
