Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Crisis and Resilience Fund could play a vital role in targeting additional support at Universal Credit claimants affected by the increase to 67. However, as things stand, local authorities have access to only 35 to 40% of the data, leaving a visibility gap in relation to some 60% of Universal Credit recipients. (Conclusion, Paragraph 133)
