Will UC take more than it can give? (from Computer Weekly)
http://www.computerweekly.com/blogs/public-sector/2015/02/cuts-and-computers-undermine-u.html
Botched implementation and cuts combine to make UC useless? Never….
The best case scenario is for the next 4 years, you will have TWO uncomplemntary Benefit systems in place.
1) A non-universal Universal Credit
2) A non universal JSA-Housing Benefit etc system.
3) There will also be a mish mash of pilots and roll-outs.
4) Scotland might do its own thing.
The irony is that the original idea was to nationalise the benefit system, yet it has smashed it into parts…..
