The things they say on Twitter!
Universal Credit dead? Surely not.
£300 million down the drain? No. No public administration could waste that much money. Could they?

"UC will enter "test phase" in April 2014 with those LA's and finish at the end of 2014 (that could be the end of the financial year btw)"

"i.e. Mar 2015."
— Welfare Reform (@Welfare__Reform) July 19, 2013
"In 2015, slow incremental rollout "on a v small scale nationwide" will commence. DWP to report plan for 2014 to Parliament in Autumn 2013"

"DWP still performing the UC "reset" and a small team is designing a Proof Of Concept IT system for launch to pathfinders in Oct 2013."
— Welfare Reform (@Welfare__Reform) July 19, 2013
"I.e. the current IT system is not fit for purpose and has been scrapped (at a cost of at least £300M)"
— Welfare Reform (@Welfare__Reform) July 19, 2013
"New Claims for benefits will not start moving wholesale to UC until 2015. (you have to wonder if project will now survive the election)"

"To sum up, UC project has been scrapped and will start again almost from scratch. It will still be in testing throughout 2014."
— Welfare Reform (@Welfare__Reform) July 19, 2013
"No real start of go-live until 2015. £300M+ wasted on IT which is unusable."
— Welfare Reform (@Welfare__Reform) July 19, 2013
"IDS probably won't survive this once the news comes out."
