Universal Credit has not delivered value for money and it
is uncertain if it ever will, the National Audit Office (NAO) has concluded.
The DWP has estimated it can make an annual net saving of £8bn, but in a
critical report published today the NAO said this “remains unproven”. The DWP
has spent £1.9bn to date on the rollout of the new welfare system, which
replaces six means-tested benefits. This £1.9bn spend is made up of £1.3bn of
investment and £0.6bn on running costs, the NAO said. Download the report from
the NAO website.
