housing associations could incur extra costs and see resources diverted from
mitigating the impacts of Universal Credit, unless the government makes swift
changes to the way rent changes are recorded, and allows them to update
information in bulk. The DWP told housing associations in February that it
would enable them to record rent cost changes in bulk on behalf of tenants
claiming the new benefit system from April, but these changes were never put in
place. Read more on Inside Housing.
