Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Therein lies the big problem with Universal Credit: life just ain't that simple, and a benefits system designed to pretend that it is is essentially doomed to failure from the very start.
Add on to that the problems of trying to push the system out well before it's ready, trying to utterly overhaul the benefits system at the same time as cutting back the staffing and budget of the DWP massively, and making decisions that regularly lead to successful appeals, and it's a recipe for total failure.

Your aunt's experience is horrific mamya. Let's hope we learn from both the past, and current mistakes.
I'll continue to be hopeful.
There will always be those who manipulate the system, who feel entitled to get as much as they can...and more...from it. It will always be at the expense of those who do not have such "skills" or any desire to be dishonest.

Excellent post Cassa. I agree with every word.
It irritates the bejesus out of me how much of my money the Government gives to people who choose not to work, many of whom have never worked.
The benefit system should be a safety net - if we have to give anything to the long term useless it should be set at subsistence level.

If a government over pays itself then it has no right to under cut the the help needed by those are not fit in many cases to work . Well off people have not got a clue how the less fortunate people have to get by on scraps from the tables of those who get to live in luxury .Some seriously sick people are being denied .The government can always find money like the handout to the dup to hang on to power .
I think Crisis Loans went and are now called Budgeting Loans.
