The Explanatory Memorandum that was published alongside the work allowance regulations contained the reference to the existing Universal Credit (UC) Impact Assessment. Whilst it is not standard practice to publish separate impact assessment for each change to the UC Regulations, Ministers gave full consideration to the impacts of these changes before the work allowance regulations were laid.
