This is primarily due to the following factors: The overall Delivery Confidence Assessment Rating remains AMBER reflecting both the positive progress the Programme continues to make, providing an essential role in enabling the Department to successfully manage the unprecedented numbers of people claiming UC (100% increase since March 2020) and the remaining challenges of migrating existing legacy claimants to UC. Whilst migration to UC activity was suspended to support the Department in managing the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, a phased plan has been developed. This plan delivers the migration of remaining legacy benefit claimants to Universal Credit as scheduled by end of 2024. |
