The SNP has lambasted the Tories over their mismanagement of welfare, after figures showed that the number of Jobseekers’ Allowance claimants who have been underpaid has more than doubled in five years.
New analysis shows that the proportion of JSA claimants who have been underpaid due to official errors has risen from 0.8% to 2.1% since 2011/2012.
The SNP has cited these figures as further proof that Westminster is failing on welfare and reiterated demands for the full devolution of social security powers to the Scottish Parliament.
