Universal Credit In Crisis: Calls For Roll-Out To Be Halted

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.
