The announcement also laid out plans for the next phase of rollout, which will see another two job centres in the north-west added to the pilot this month. It will then be rolled out to another six job centres from October (Hammersmith, Rugby, Inverness, Harrogate, Bath, Shotton).

“Today we’ve announced the next stage of delivery for Universal Credit, following the successful start of the early roll out in April,” said Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith.

“I am pleased to say that while we press ahead with delivery, we are also ensuring that we have the best long-term approach in place for this transformative benefit.”
