| Review Title | Source | Date | Quotes/Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Universal Credit: getting to first payment | NAO | Jul 2020 | "The DWP has reduced the cost of administering each claim, but it is still not certain that Universal Credit will be cheaper to administer than the benefits it has replaced." |
| Universal Credit: getting it to work better | IfG | Mar 2020 | "the issue of historical debt could damage Universal Credit’s reputation further" |
| Universal Credit | PAC | Oct 2018 | "The introduction of Universal Credit is causing unacceptable hardship and difficulties for many of the claimants it was designed to help." |
| Rolling out Universal Credit | NAO | Jun 2018 | " .. the project is not value for money now, and its future value for money is unproven." |
| Universal Credit: From disaster to recovery? | IfG | Sep 2016 | "looks at the failure and potential recovery of Universal Credit" |
