Nine In 10 Claimants 'Not Ready' For Universal Credit

New research by Citizens Advice shows nine out of 10 people are not ready for universal credit.  The charity surveyed more than 1,700 of its clients who will start to receive universal credit from October and asked them whether they felt they would be able to cope with five possible problem areas: budgeting, monthly payments, banking, staying informed and internet access. A total of 92 per cent of future recipients said they felt unprepared for the new system in at least one area.  Download a copy of the report from the CAB website.
