Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent estimate she has made of the completion date for the roll-out of universal credit.

The rollout of Universal Credit to all jobcentres was completed in December 2018.

The next stage of the Universal Credit process will be managed migration, which will see claimants move from legacy benefits onto Universal Credit. We have said that we will begin managed migration on a small scale in 2019 to pilot our processes and ensure that they are working, adapting them and building on feedback before we begin to take on larger volumes of claimants. This managed migration process will be completed by the end of 2023.
