Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he has taken to ensure that IT systems for universal credit will not increase levels of error and delays in processing claims, payments and changes of circumstances.

The recent UC at Work publication (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-at-work) sets out how Universal Credit is working and our continued approach to delivering Universal Credit safely and securely, testing and learning from experience, and driving continuous improvement of the service for our claimants, and overall benefit to the taxpayer.
