To improve the claiming process, the govt should end the #FiveWeekWait, split UC payments between members of a couple, make alternative payment arrangements available on request and provide long-term transitional protection:

Our new report highlights several problems with starting and making a claim for #UniversalCredit. First, the #FiveWeekWait for first payment, which we've joined @TrussellTrust and others in campainging against. https://t.co/t9g3gmJ5x7
5) Other restrictions like the #benefitcap #fiveweekwait and no recourse to public funds #NRPF are untenable. Access to social security is essential to preventing mass hardship and poverty.
Ensure UK #socialsecurity system provides sufficient & effective support both for single parents out of work and in employment, inc through retaining the £20 increase to Universal Credit, extending it to #legacybenefits & scrapping the #fiveweekwait. (6/6)
Many welcome recommendations that reflect suggestions put forward in our submission (https://t.co/rfeJ13cRsI). The #FiveWeekWait is a damaging design decision that causes hardship, and ultimately we believe people should receive their first full UC payment 1 week after they claim
🚨Today we’ve published our report on the wait for a first payment of #UniversalCredit.
🗣️It makes recommendations to @DWP for changes to improve the system for people who are claiming UC.

Really proud to have interviewed @clack_ima from @PayPlan @InstituteMA on @Oh_yes_UCAN @Facebook on #money #COVID19 #universalcredit #fiveweekwait #deficitbudget #debt
When IDS says that DWP can dramatically reduce the #fiveweekwait, then there are truly no more excuses. It’s time for DWP to end excuses and get people the help they need now.
“Universal Credit has three basic levers that could all be pulled now… to help people who are in work,” says Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith
“This could be done today”
Treasury economic secretary John Glen says he is looking at “all options”

As Chair of @CommonsWorkPen I want to work constructively with the Government to look again at the #fiveweekwait and make sure people have a chance of success on Universal Credit. (2/2)
#ThomasCook: Former #staff have been left with no choice but to sign on for #universalcredit yet with a #fiveweekwait some have found themselves struggling to afford to pay their #mortgages or shop for food #ThePerilsofUniversalCredit #poverty

“Universal Credit is not working for people”, @SDLPlive stated in its submission to the Joint Committee.
We especially highlighted severe financial hardship caused by the #FiveWeekWait and that DfC confirmed to @SDLPlive the first UC payment could be awarded within two weeks.
Reminder ye can show solidarity w/families facing #holidayhunger + the #fiveweekwait for UC this summer - if able, please do consider donating to your local foodbank, and if ye have spare school uniforms, drop them into into @EastSidePship or into @NBAPAdvice uniform swap appeal!
The five week wait for #UniversalCredit is pushing those who are already vulnerable into #poverty. We now hear it is also open to massive fraud. It is time the government admits the system is failing and scrapped the #fiveweekwait.

Everyone applying for #UniversalCredit has to wait at least five weeks for a first payment, meaning many are left without enough to get by day-to-day, and are turning to food banks.
In #DWPquestions today, I called on the Government to act to end the misery of the #fiveweekwait:
This follows from the @irish_news story featuring our Oldpark Cllr @Paul_Mc_Cusker earlier this week.
He said: “No-one should be going hungry in Belfast in 2019 but unfortunately, that is the sad reality”, noting the impact of the #fiveweekwait Universal Credit.
Also on @StephenNolan -
A soup kitchen in Belfast has seen demand for its service rise 10 fold over the last two years. What does that say about the society we live in?

I’m delighted by the Government’s announcement today about the debt breathing space scheme.... but they need to realise their own Universal Credit policy of the #fiveweekwait and advanced payments is also pushing people further into debt https://t.co/6S4Gq8WHNU
@charlielindlar @Sumi_RabindraK Hunger in Hastings, @DWP @AmberRuddHR’s constituency. Food poverty must be addressed in the round - benefits, wages, better jobs. And how on earth is the #UniversalCredit #fiveweekwait justifiable, when it pushes people into crisis? @EndHunger_UK @TrussellTrust @right2fooduk
This morning I talked to constituents who have struggled with #UniversalCredit claims. @JRPCatford is doing great work to help local claimants navigate a very complex system, but clear the #fiveweekwait must be scrapped. It is putting vulnerable people in to #poverty.
