This week marks 10 years since the first Universal Credit Pathfinder. UC was successfully rolled out to all Jobcentres by December 2018 and has improved employment outcomes for claimants, got rid of the old cliff edges and navigated the pandemic in a way Legacy Benefits could never have done. We are presently moving all tax credit recipients onto Universal Credit.
