It will impact thousands of low paid workers in the UK
From Sunday, February 26, a Department for Work and Pensions change will start to impact thousands of low paid workers in the UK. New regulations, which came into force on Monday, January 30, mean more than 120,000 working people on Universal Credit across the UK will receive what the government is calling a job support boost.
In just 10 days, an increase to the threshold will mean more Universal Credit claimants will be moved from the ‘Light Touch’ group to the ‘Intensive Work Search’ group, this, according to DWP will help them to get better-paid work and boost their long-term prospects.Combined with a previous increase in September, the move will mean around a quarter of a million more people will find themselves in the ‘Intensive Work Search’ group.
“By raising the Administrative Earnings Threshold, we are forging a robust labour market building on positive changes we have already made and supporting even more people to progress in the workplace.”
