The author was from a 2008 article so figures would have been older.

I agree is odd how it can go from 0.5% to 1% in the space of 1-2 years. As thats doubling the figure.

As for the complexity and number of benefits, I understand the reason, as its precisely why I hate the idea of a universal credit. A single benefit assumes everyone has the same needs.
