“It’s frankly a disgrace.” An investigation discussed on Talk reports that 1.8 million Universal Credit health-component claimants are overdue reassessment, with an average delay of two years, and one case stretching to 16 years. The investigation’s lead explains how reassessment delays have left people without proper follow-up, while stressing that overdue reviews do not automatically mean someone is ineligible for support. TaxPayers’ Alliance research director Darwin Friend calls for ministers to tackle the backlog, expand in-person assessments and help those who can work return to employment. “We need to crack down on the welfare bill.” #WelfareReform #Benefits #TaxPayersAlliance #TalkTV Have you got a story?
