Migration notices will be issued from the Department for Communities from Monday, with the process being completed by September 2024Tens of thousands of households across Northern Ireland are going to start being moved on to universal credit from Monday.
Deputy Secretary of Work and Health at the Department for Communities Paddy Rooney said: "Anyone entitled to UC may be able to claim extra financial support to help with essential costs while waiting on their first payment, including a Universal Credit Contingency Fund grant payment or an advance loan."
"If you don't make that claim, your benefit will stop so we have deliberately chosen October to avoid that cliff edge," he added. Head of Policy at Advice NI Kevin Higgins said: "The universal credit system requires the self-employed to report their cash-in and cash-out business figures monthly, corresponding to their universal credit monthly assessment period, and straightaway this may present a challenge for self-employed people."
