As always, the detail of the Regulations translating @DWP plans for #UniversalCredit managed migration is where the critical examination by @The_SSAC will be. @IanDiamond11 tells the @CommonsWorkPen that @The_SSAC will be scrutinising the revised Regs at next meeting on 12 Dec.

@The_SSAC @IanDiamond11 @victodd @CommonsWorkPen It is nice to see Ian and Victoria 'get it' and are really considering the impacts on vulnerable and that covers a wide scope - people at risk whether health, home, financial status already dire, obviously - but as UC is linked to suicides - it really needs scrapping.
