Migration to universal credit was created by janice
I am on PIP and Housing & council tax benefits.

I have received the migration letter instructing me to apply by October. I am so anxious about the best way to do this.

Am I best to do this immediately?
Should I use the CAB help to apply UC service?
I’m sure all this seems obvious to others but in my head and current situation it feels as if there are pitfalls everywhere. Advice appreciated

Hi janice,

You get up to 3 months to move before your claim is closed - if you use the website www.turn2us.org.uk/
they should be able to advise you on whether it's better for you holding out longer or not, based on what income you'll receive.

Hope this helps, Chris.
