DWP to Compensate Thousands Over Disability Premium Loss in Universal Credit Shift

The Department for Work and Pensions will offer up to £5,000 in compensation to around 57,000 claimants who lost severe disability premiums during their transition to Universal Credit. This comes after court rulings identified failures in income protection. The compensation scheme addresses injustices faced by disabled claimants, with a structured payout plan aiming to conclude by August 2025.
