Sixteen percent of universal credit (UC) claimants who
rent a property found themselves in arrears after three months of claiming the
new benefit, research has shown. The figure was revealed by the DWP in its
universal credit 'Pathfinder Evaluation' report. The report focuses on the UC claimant
experience in the pathfinder areas where initial eligibility criteria has
focused on single, unemployed, non-home owning claimants without any
children. At the three month stage, the
report reveals that 16% of 'UC renters' were in arrears, reducing to 12% at six
months. Download the report from the DWP
website.
