Esther McVey has announced that £39m will be paid to CAB to help(?) claimants with Universal Credit We all need to know what strings are attached to that money and what effect that may have on the quality of CAB’s advice in the circumstances Will the advice be genuinely independent or will it be what the DWP says it should be?
