Benefit claimants getting DWP letters from next week with 60,000 told to claim or lose support
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is stepping up its campaign to contact people receiving certain benefits, informing them that they need to switch to Universal Credit, or lose their financial support. From February to the end of the year, over 60,000 of these notifications are expected to be sent out each month to those claiming Employment and Support Allowance.
