Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'UC managed migration'.
These documents do not relate to policy development. Government policy on managed migration appears to have now been finalised. The draft UC (Transitional Provisions) Amendment Regs 2022 have now been published and the government does not intend to make any further changes to the legislation which provides for managed migration.
In any event, an important factor in favour of releasing the information is that DWP originally envisioned publishing these documents following the managed migration pilot and ahead of any wider rollout of managed migration.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/u...
Yours faithfully,
Owen Stevens

'To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to publish the report on the discovery phase of the managed migration of Universal Credit; and if so, when they intend to do so.'

Completing the move to Universal Credit: Learning from the Discovery Phase
Published 10 January 2023
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...
'Next Steps
The Government remains committed to completing the Move to UC. By the end of 2024/25 we will have completed the moves of all legacy cases with tax credits (including those on both ESA and tax credits), all cases on Income Support (IS) and Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) and all Housing Benefit (HB) only cases.
That will allow HMRC to close down the tax credit system for those of working age and DWP to close down IS and JSA – generating savings for taxpayers. As part of that plan, in 2023/24 we plan to move cases that are solely in receipt of working tax credit and/or child tax credit, with the remaining tax credit cases (which also receive DWP benefits) and IS, HB and JSA in 2024/25. In the early part of 2023/24, we will be testing our ability to scale the approach that has been developed during Discovery and we will continue to learn and refine the process to ensure as many claimants as possible safely transition to UC.
Some 800,000 ESA cases will remain after 24/25, with the managed migration of these cases being delayed until 2028/29 as outlined in the recent Autumn Statement. The number of cases remaining is expected to fall to around 600,000 by 2028, taking into account natural migration resulting from changes of circumstances and claims coming to an end.'
