Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
What steps she is taking to ensure that universal credit supports people in progressing at work and increasing their earnings.
This question was answered on 26th March 2018
Universal Credit provides us with the opportunity to support people to progress in work and we are currently developing the evidence base on how best to do this.
Building on our existing suite of trials, which includes a large scale Randomised Control Trial on in-work progression, we have committed an additional £8m to testing different approaches to supporting people to progress.
