Hi Again
I've managed to locate the article and have copied and pasted.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced new details and a timetable of planned Managed Migration for people on legacy benefits moving to Universal Credit from April 2024. The new update follows on from a written statement made by DWP Minister for Employment, Jo Churchill MP, at the end of January.
The statement provides more detail of the legacy benefit combinations that the DWP will move from April when it starts with Income Support households - who may also be receiving Housing Benefit and/or Child Tax Credit - and households claiming Tax Credits with Housing Benefit.
It’s important for claimants to be aware that those in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) only and Employment and Support Allowance with Housing Benefit will not be moved until 2028.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Just to clarify.
We are no aware of any plans to migrate Contribution Based ESA only claimants to a new benefit, although it makes some sense to bring them onto New Style ESA at some point in the future.
