Almost three quarters of UK parliamentary constituencies will be adversely affected by the proposed removal of additional Universal Credit support, according to an anti-poverty charity.
The government should raise the rates of legacy benefits to remove unfair disparity in comparison to Universal Credit, a report from the Work and Pensions Committee has said.
The government’s flagship Universal Credit welfare reform will be available in three-quarters of all jobcentres by Christmas under the next phase of its national rollout, ministers have said.
