Hodge said it was deeply ironic that if the DWP had been more open about the Universal Credit scheme – which she said was a "good policy" – there would have been a far better chance of the programme being implemented. Instead, she said, it was being "appallingly handled".

A spokesman for DWP said the department has a "track record of delivery". "We've already successfully launched the benefit cap, Universal Credit and the new personal independence payment. The industry tells us that the work programme has got almost 500,000 of the hardest to help into jobs. We are bringing in our reforms safely and responsibly," he said.

 

hbinfo note: it is extraordinary for DWP to claim credit for the benefits cap…when it only applies to Housing Benefit and not DWP benefits!
