    .... decision making in UC is worse than in legacy benefits (particularly with EU) and at least with legacy benefits if one benefit was erroneously refused other benefits could still be paid. When UC get it wrong the consequences are dire, the claimant has nothing.
    Completely agree with this.
    On the other hand I have seen claimants who have an entitlement to UC but had no entitlement to legacy benefits, for example those with non dependants living with them as non-dependant deductions are lower.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
