The DWP's time is up next week, unless it decides to appeal again.

    If Stephen Crabb announces it is being scrapped or if indeed the DWP stop blocking FOI requests of UC, he'll have a perfect scapegoat in IDS.

    Stephen Crabb MP did indeed refuse to cover the costs of a further appeal by the DWP and the docs have now all been released.


    Here's a take on them:

    The main finding is that civil servants warned Ministers of problems with the rollout of UC and the need for a further £25m for IT, at the same time Chris Grayling as then DWP Minister said the rollout was progressing well and on time.


    Ministers were also informed that more communication and liaison should be made with local authorities to improve the rollout functionality, but this would be politically risky, as Cllrs might go to the media with details of the problems in UC rollout.

    Thanks for following that up Mersey.

    I still maintain Ian Duncan Smith will be a perfect scapegoat to the mess UC is in.
