Universal Credit should be halted immediately after
claims the roll-out of the new system was in crisis. Highland MP Drew Hendry
said that more than 40% of his caseload was now related to the introduction of
the controversial scheme. Hendry said:
“Through no fault of their own, people are being left months without money, and
when they seek out help every obstacle possible is put in their way .This
situation is now at crisis point and the rollout of full service needs to be
immediately halted.” Hendry added: “It seems the primary goal of the DWP is to
delay payments at all costs. Even today I have had six separate constituents
get in touch as their payment, due last week, still hasn’t arrived. This is
after waiting months for money.”Read more on the thirdforcenews website.
