Our last publication in February 2024, was focused on the tax credit migrations and the initial Discovery activity. This document sets out:

1. Early evidence from the migration of legacy benefits that we have been scaling up since April 2024. This will be focused on people who are on Income Support and Housing Benefit and Tax Credits.

2. Migration Notices sent between April and September 2024.

3. Claim rates based on Migration Notices sent up until May 2024.

4. Extensions issued up until September 2024.  

Note that this publication will not include any further Insight into the tax credit only migrations and the reasons for no-claims. A separate research publication is being produced to provide Insight into this area.
