»»Over the last 12
months, the GGF has been
working steadily with the
Department of Work and
Pensions (DWP) on Universal
Credit and the benefits it brings
to employers.
Following these ongoing
discussions, DWP has released
news of two key developments
to ensure employers understand
Universal Credit and take full
advantage of its benefits.

of ensuring companies are
well informed of the benefits
of Universal Credit with Lord

Discussion in early November
