In general, most implementation dates for Jobcentres changed by approximately three months. Barnsley went live with the Universal Credit Full Service in July 2017.

The full rollout schedule was published in July 2017 and its available at the following link:

We published an updated schedule following the announcements in the Oral Statement on 23 November, here:
