Paragraph: 104
The Government does not know enough about how Universal Credit is operating for different groups.
Recommendation
The Government does not know enough about how Universal Credit is operating for different groups. The Government does not know, for example, how many BAME claimants there are and if they are negatively affected by the Universal Credit application system. We recommend that the Government should make the equality survey that is a part of the Universal Credit application mandatory for applicants and claimants so that the ethnicity data of applicants and claimants can be improved.
