Universal Credit (UC) will need
Universal Credit (UC) will need to change to meet the growing challenges of an older and sicker population, according to a think tank.
The number of benefit claimants who are out of work because of ill health has almost doubled since UC was first introduced, to reach 2.3 million, the Resolution Foundation said.
Both the benefit system and the country have changed significantly since the introduction of UC in 2013, according to the report.
The unemployment rate has fallen from 8.5% in 2011 to 3.8% in 2023, the foundation said.
TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer discusses the story with deputy policy director at The Centre for Social Justice Sophia Worringer.
