Cost to the authority of Universal Credit
To whom it may concern,
Please can I request under the Freedom of Information Act:
a) Any estimate of the total monetary cost to your authority of the introduction of Universal Credit since its inception in 2013 (ideally broken down by municipal year and including 2018/19 to date);
b) The total monetary value of any crisis loans funded by yourselves and given to Universal Credit claimants since January 1 2013;
c) The total funding given by yourselves to third-sector organisations for the purpose of supporting Universal Credit claimants since January 1 2013;
d) The cost to yourselves of offering support or advice to Universal Credit claimants who are in financial difficulty or struggling with the process of claiming Universal Credit since January 1 2013;
If the following request cannot be met within cost limits, please provide advice on how I may refine my request.
Yours faithfully,
