"I think UC is a good system. Just stop paying claimants housing benefit directly. Pay it straight to landlord. " . From what the programme said and what I know the housing benefit part of UC is causing the biggest problems so yes paying it straight to the landlord or even going back to what was before UC and having to make a separate claim would be better after all I am sure no one wants to see someone made homeless | |||

It's a totally out of date system before it arrives fully. | |||

It’s suppose to be the way forward Ian Duncan Smith brainchild but unless you are confident on using a computer to check on a daily basis you will struggle with it.Throw in language issues , mental health issues , no access to a PC or smartphone although you can go into a jobcentre and use one of their computers could lead to all sorts of difficulties. | |||

"I worked for DWP for 13 years and was there when they started to roll out UC. It was pointed out by the staff actually doing the job that it wouldn’t work and that it would be detrimental to claimants but as with everything in DWP the decisions are never made by anyone with knowledge of the benefit system. The union also tried to fight bringing it in but were blocked by parliament. It’s purely a cost cutting scheme made by the very people who claim thousands a month in expenses who wouldn’t know what it was like to actually have to budget your money. Mrs" . As I said in a earlier post the concept is good of 6 benefits rolled into one but unfortunately it’s not a one size fits all.In my area UC full service rolled out last year and most of the claimants are not happy with it.I have worked for DWP and previous names for 18 years and I see the problems it’s causing first hand with the most vulnerable claimants. | |||

"the worst thing about universal credit is you got to have a computer to keep checking. i feel sorry for those who do not know how to use one and those who are vulnerable. " . Unfortunately yes you have to be checking it everyday or every other day and doing what is in your to do list other wise problems come up.Many claimants forget there username and password so I always help them reset them and update their to do list | |||

"How many people are going to be homeless by Xmas due to most landlord not taking on people on universal credit?" So should landlords take them on anyway? | |||

"How many people are going to be homeless by Xmas due to most landlord not taking on people on universal credit?" A lot of landlords ask for a guarantor if people are on benefits. | |||

"How many people are going to be homeless by Xmas due to most landlord not taking on people on universal credit? So should landlords take them on anyway? " i do not know i just saying it because most families on uc depend on it to pay it but seem they not willing since the change. | |||
