Had an informative series of meetings with @S_A_Somerville and her @scotgov officials today. Impressed by their involvement of 2,500 users of the social security system to help inform the design and delivery of policy. And pleased to hear about constructive relationship with @DWP

Congratulations Sally. Everyone at @The_SSAC looks forward to working with you.

New @DWP Secretary of State acknowledges problems in UC & makes it her mission to address them - helping to deliver fair, compassionate & efficient benefit system. I look forward to working with you @AmberRuddHR - & to an early mtg where we can discuss these issues. Ian Diamond

[Prof Gráinne McKeever @McKeeverGrainne]

As always, the detail of the Regulations translating @DWP plans for #UniversalCredit managed migration is where the critical examination by @The_SSAC will be. @IanDiamond11 tells the @CommonsWorkPen that @The_SSAC will be scrutinising the revised Regs at next meeting on 12 Dec.

@The_SSAC @IanDiamond11 @victodd @CommonsWorkPen It is nice to see Ian and Victoria 'get it' and are really considering the impacts on vulnerable and that covers a wide scope - people at risk whether health, home, financial status already dire, obviously - but as UC is linked to suicides - it really needs scrapping.
