New figures show 3,610 people claimed Universal Credit up to 30 November 2013 – as the national roll-out of the new benefit continues.
Universal Credit is now available to some new jobseekers in 7 sites across Britain and will be extended to Bath and Harrogate from Monday, 24 February 2014.
Minister for Welfare Reform Lord Freud said:
“The steady roll-out of Universal Credit has led to over 3,600 people starting to receive the new benefit by November of last year”

According to the original plan, we should be well on the way to 1000,000 UC claimants. We have 3610.
The only way in which the ‘steady roll-out’ is ‘working’ is in that Lord Fraud and his boss still have their jobs. If anyone else in the public or private sector had promised the one and ended up with t’other, they’d be collecting JSA sanctions by now.
apparently the ‘careful approach is working well’

Yeees! You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself. You’ve let Derbyshire Welfare Rights Service down, you’ve let Rightsnet down but most of all you’ve let yourself down. Reflect long and hard dear boy.
