Recommendation 8
8
Paragraph: 44
Confirm plans for implementing partial child maintenance deductions in Universal Credit and their priority.
Recommendation
Competing priorities for the Universal Credit system, specifically work on fraud and error and the automation of processes to allow the expansion of the move to Universal Credit, mean the Department has not undertaken work to implement capability in the system to process partial deductions for child maintenance in the Universal Credit system. The Government should confirm that it plans to implement partial deductions for child maintenance, where this ranks in priority for work on the system and when this work is expected to be reached.
