We are on track with our plans for the national roll out of Universal Credit. Universal Credit is already available in over 40% of Jobcentres and will be present in all by Spring 2016.The Department is not setting targets for numbers in receipt of Universal Credit because numbers will vary according to factors such as economic circumstances and the behavioural change of claimants.
