Question 1/
Can the Council please state what it will be doing to inform
Claimants that from April the 1st, Universal Credit will replace
most benefits? .
(Presently we are increasingly alarmed at how view residents
in Lewisham are aware of its arrival and how it will affect them.)
Question 2/
All Universal Credit applications must be done on line, with
restrictions in library’s as to use and cuts to advice centres, can the Council
state what it will be doing to help the huge numbers of Local residents without
Computer access to make claims, and what extra help will be laid on to help
people submit claims.
Question 3/
Can the Council state
what emergency procedures are in place Should the Universal Credit Computer system
fail and thousands of local residents are left with no money?.
Question 4/
Can the Council confirm that tenants will not receive poor
credit ratings due to late rent payments caused by the changeover.
Question 5/
Has the Council given any thought as to how Local residents
will need help once Universal Credit is introduced with payments made at the
end of a 4 week period and the obvious cash flow and food issues this will
cause.?
