Universal Credit is scheduled to roll out in Torbay at the end of May 2018, and local MP Kevin Foster today asked the DWP Minister, The Rt Hon David Gauke MP, about the plans that are in place to ensure a smooth transition for people on benefits in our local area. You can see Kevin’s question in the House of Commons here, along with the Minister’s reply.
Kevin is keeping a close eye on this situation, which will affect many constituents in the Bay. He is in regular contact with our local JobcentrePlus office in Torquay, and his casework team recently travelled to Plymouth for a training event. More updates will be given as Kevin is provided with more information.
