New research from JRF and Britain Thinks that highlights people’s experiences of claiming UC - where it’s working and the restrictions it places on their lives - and identifies opportunities to use UC to ensure people have a decent living standard, especially where they are in work ..

In September and November 2017, we spoke to 24 individuals living on full-service Universal Credit in Runcorn and Newcastle, across three full-day workshops and six follow-up interviews with workshop participants. 

During the workshops and follow-up interviews we aimed to understand participants’ experiences and views of Universal Credit and their spontaneous and prompted priorities for change to Universal Credit.
