Not Far of a Million People Attempt To Apply For Universal Credit In Two Weeks

UNIVERSAL CREDIT - Almost a million people have attempted to claim Universal Credit in the last two weeks and the public are getting frustrated trying to get through to the DWP on the telephone.

Normally about 100,000 might claim in a period of two weeks. Tens of thousands are struggling to prove their identity.

Now the average person is realizing what all the cuts to the welfare system mean in real terms.

Though the DWP have rushed senior staff to the frontline, the DWP estate - Jobcentre Plus offices had been cut and some 19,000 odd staff let go. The whole system is struggling under these cuts.
