Universal Credit Boss Steps Down

DWP Chief Information Officer (CIO), Andy Nelson, has stepped down from his role overseeing the roll-out of Universal Credit after only a year in charge.  He was placed in charge of the roll-out of Universal Credit in February 2013. A spokesperson for the DWP said:
“After four and a half years in the civil service, Andy Nelson has decided to step down as DWP’s CIO. His work has included improving the day-to-day running of the department’s IT and welfare reforms.

“The DWP has a strong IT team in place, and Andy will continue in post until the summer to ensure continuity and an effective handover to his successor.” The DWP has yet to clarify who will be taking over when he leaves his role in the summer. Read more on the Welfare News Service website.
