No limit on number of times deadline for managed migration claim can be extended if ‘good reason’

Written answer from Alok Sharma in House of Commons yesterday -

The draft regulations suggest a minimum one month period between the migration notice and deadline day. However, there is flexibility for a longer period to be given and to extend any given deadline, if it is identified that certain claimants require longer timescales to make a claim.

Similarly, a claimant may request an extension for completing their Universal Credit claim, as long as they have a good reason for doing so. There is no limit on the number of times that a claimant may ask to extend the deadline for making the UC claim providing they have a good reason for doing so.
