Reform UK won 1,453 council seats. Their published welfare policy is half a page. What would they do with the 1.22m households in welfare limbo?

[UknownM]

Yesterday the DWP published the final Move to Universal Credit numbers. 360,030 individuals lost their legacy benefits because they didn't claim UC by their deadline. Around 860,000 households are still on legacy benefits via the ESA and Housing Benefit migration extension to summer 2026. That's roughly 1.22 million UK households whose welfare status is uncertain.
I went looking for Reform UK's published welfare position given they won 1,453 council seats in May. Their June 2024 manifesto allocates approximately half a page of text to benefits. The two specific policies: PIP and Work Capability Assessment must be face-to-face with independent medical assessments, and job seekers fit to work must find employment within 4 months or accept a job after 2 offers or have benefits withdrawn.
That's it. No published Reform UK position on the structure of Universal Credit, on the migration cohort, on the Universal Credit Act 2025 LCWRA rebalancing, or on the Timms Review of PIP reporting in autumn.
Anyone here read Reform UK's welfare position differently, or know if they've published anything more substantive since the 2024 manifesto?

Presumably the 360k will need to make a new application for UC regardless (assuming they need to continue to claim), and the 860k won’t be on legacy benefits much longer.

So unless a GE is called earlier and reform win it will be a moot point. The 1.22m won’t be in welfare limbo in 2029 presumably?

There isn't a general election yet.

Very happy Reform got in where I live Just annoyed the local labour biased newspaper seems to be avoiding making it as big as they always make anything labour

OP, this thread is for money matters. Why not post in Politics, where all of your threads belong?

The local council doesn't control universal credit. There isn't a general election for years. What are you talking about?

Maybe they weren't entitled to UC?
I don't see it as a major issue, the people affected had years of notice and opportunity so it is fair to assume most are ok with their situation.
