There have been numerous reports of problems with the current IT system that has been developed, as well as a number of changes in leadership. However, it is David Pitchford, head of the Major Projects Authority, whom took the lead on the project for three months that has recommended a new system be built to support the current implementation.

He advised that the current Universal Credit technology is already outdated.
I would be all for the Universal credit if it was paid 2 weeks in advance instead of monthly in arrears. Rent will be expected in advance 4 weeks or a full month will leave people £400+ in debt at least to the rent then they have to pay gas and electric all out of money they do not have. It is a terrible idea that will bring hardship to thousands
