Claudius may have been inspired to introduce these changes by a comment his mother Antonia made to him in his youth, to the effect of that he would be as unlikely to become emperor as he would be able to change the alphabet.
Claudius did indeed introduce his letters during his own term as censor, using arguments preserved in the historian Tacitus's account of his reign.
Besides this he [Claudius] invented three new letters and added them to the alphabet, maintaining that they were greatly needed; he published a book on their theory when he was still in private life, and when he became emperor had no difficulty in bringing about their general use.
