Please click on this report into the impact of Universal Credit, makes very alarming reading, but Still the Goverment ignores concerns. At the People before Housing conference on Saturday, i was shocked at how little understanding people have of what will happen in April, when almost every benefit will be binned and in order to claim you will have to do so on line, with 8million people unable to use the computer and savage cuts that means even CAB centres will not have the funding to offer either housing or benefit advice we can only hope the IT system as it did with the last Labour Goverments NHS system fail. A report today stated B&B has increased by 50% on last year and that in Shelters view, Homeless people number will go through the roof.
