DWP expects to have transferred between 8-9 million claimants by December 2024. Currently around 6 million are claiming and receiving their housing costs as part of their UC award. Starting in 2023 another 2.6 million “working age” claimants will transfer, during a process called “Managed Migration”. Of those currently receiving Housing Benefit, they will stop receiving help from councils and having to apply to DWP for assistance.
