The DWP is currently in the process of moving people claiming older 'legacy' benefits to Universal Credit through managed migration. But not everyone will be moved across

The Department for Work and Pensions has released details of individuals who will not be transferred to Universal Credit as part of the ongoing shift from older "legacy" benefits.

The DWP's newly launched Universal Credit transition website clarifies that those who only receive Housing Benefit and they, or their partner: For those at state pension age currently receiving Tax Credits, the DWP may ask you to apply for either Universal Credit or Pension Credit, depending on your situation. This also applies to mixed-age couples where one partner is above the state pension age.

According to the official website, if you're asked to claim Pension Credit or are already claiming it, you'll receive a Tax Credit Closure Notice. If you're prompted to claim Universal Credit, you have the option to claim Pension Credit instead, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
