Universal Credit (UC) – the fundamental re-design of Britain’s welfare system involving merging six benefits into one – is an enormous undertaking. Despite being a decade in the making, only one-third of UC’s expected final caseload is currently on the benefit, so the majority of its roll-out still lies ahead. The beginning of the new parliament therefore comes at a crucial juncture in UC’s journey.
