Universal Support

Universal Support had a mention in the news articles about the imminent axing of the Work & Health Programme so I did some digging to see what this scheme involves.

It is the brainchild of Mr Duncan - Smith's Centre for Social Justice and they view it as the "sister" of Universal Credit. That probably says it all really. I should generously note that they think Universal Support should replace Restart. Make of that what you will.

Universal Support has been on the go since last year and is due to be expanded from 2025, although it only expects to "help" 50,000 people. It appears to consist of yet more tailored, personalised support to help people out of work due to health conditions overcome their so-called barriers.

Forgive my ignorance here. But isnt this 'Tailored 🪡🧵 support'. What the JCP work roach's , are supposed to be doing?

The unemployed can never have too much tailored support.

With all of this Savile 🪡Row, of surgical support....‍. Why does this 'Help', fit like a Cheap Suit ...‍

And unless its some 'space age' material that shape's to the individual. How come this help always applied in a Cookie cutter style/design..
