Universal Credit
(asked on 21st May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
What steps he is taking to ensure that universal credit supports people to increase their earnings and progress in their jobs.
This question was answered on 21st May 2018
In April 2017 we reduced the Universal Credit taper rate to 63% supporting people to earn more and keep more of their earnings. And unlike in the legacy system, there are no cliff edges, so claimants know that for every extra hour they work they will be able to keep more of their earnings.
