Does anyone know how the candidates for the initial managed migrations are selected? Truro has been picked as the next area for managed migration with a first tranche of 250 claimants and it might help with our planning to know if we are likely to get a lot of claimants who are likely to struggle with the claims.
All we have been told is that they will try and get a wide range of claimants on different / multiple benefits and different circumstances - also attaching my notes from last Move to UC meeting in case you missed on other post which highlights a few groups that won’t be selected

Re managed migration - does anyone have access to the guidance for when UC home visits’ should be considered?
Note that on Daphne’s notes people not being invited currently (due to design issues) include this group but never been sure exactly what this means or how can argue may be required.
Anyone experiences and/or links much appreciated !

This is the official guidance for home visits-

When I was part of the Help to Claim Team (my job title is out of date but I don’t know how to change it!) we seldom had a problem getting home visits provided the cl met the criteria. It all stopped during lockdown though!
Thank you . Would hope that home visits are available again and notably in the Coronavirus Act and various amendments that followed, there was no easement of the Equality Act so DWP ( like so many ) should have worked out how to meet their duties then and since. Think a lot of clients will fit this criteria but will see what happens…...,....!
