Tenants Not Sold On Universal Credit

The majority of private tenants currently in receipt of benefits are either unaware (37%) or unsure (48%) about the implications of planned changes to the welfare system in the UK, according to research from the National Landlords Association (NLA).  The research findings, which come shortly after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Select Committee published its recommendations on the implementation of Universal Credit, also show that 86% of tenants are also concerned about the impact of the Government’s plans to cut a further £10bn from the welfare budget.  Read more on the NLA website.
