Whither Universal Credit?

In September 2013 I wrote the following about Universal Credit:

"As loyal readers know, RTI and Universal Credits are all part of the same beast and the fates of both affect the government, HMRC and the DWP.

The overall aim of PAYE Real Time Information and Universal Credits is to make the administration easier for HMRC and DWP and to reduce fraud by ensuring that employees and businesses pay tax more accurately, whilst claimants receive the benefits to which they are entitled.

Thus it is interesting to note that Cameron has publicly indicated that the UC deadline of 2017, being zealously proselytised by Iain Duncan Smith, may in fact not really be achievable."

Now that IDS, who zealously championed Universal Credit, has gone what will become of it?

Kicked into the long grass, drastically watered down or forever stranded in no man's land?

Your views and comments are welcome.

Tax does have to be taxing.
