DWP Cuts Staff as Universal Credit Mess Gets Worse and Worse

Ministers have been accused of making “reckless” staffing cuts after it emerged the department responsible for welfare benefits has lost 21 per cent of its workforce since the controversial universal credit system was introduced.

Campaigners warned staff in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) were under “intense pressure” to deal with growing workloads after government accounts data revealed the workforce had been reduced by 19,189 since 2013, amounting to a loss of one in five employees.

This is strange as they keep spouting unemployed figures declining weekly or so they say. And yet my job centre is busier than ever.

Be nice for them to see how it feels out in the real world.
