To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how existing overpayments will be handled in the managed migration from Working Tax Credits to Universal Credit.
Guy Opperman
The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions
When a claimant’s tax credit claim is closed, for whatever reason, including a move to Universal Credit, the debt is transferred to the Department’s Debt Management team.
Once Universal Credit is in payment, the overpayment will be recovered in line with the Universal Credit regulations.
