Triggers for a move to UC
Hi,
Would anyone have an opinion on whether either of the following will trigger a move to UC in a digital area?
Becoming eligible for the severe disability premium within IBJSA after being awarded PIP.
Being moved from the WRAG to the support group while receiving IBESA.
Priti Patel said in February 2016 -
“Natural migration occurs where people have had a significant change of circumstances that would previously have triggered a new claim to benefits or tax credits. They would always have had their entitlement recalculated based on a new set of rules.”
Neither of the above examples seem to fit her explanation of a trigger but that doesn’t mean the same in practice.
In addition, has the DWP published comprehensive guidance listing trigger points?
