Philip Hammond ploughed an extra £1billion into universal credit to make the controversial welfare reform work today. The Chancellor said he had listened to critics on his own side and was making sure existing welfare claimants would not lose out when they are moved onto the new benefit. Mr Hammond also announced he would reverse cuts made by George Osborne when he was Chancellor to the work allowance part of the benefit - costing £1.7billion a year in 2023.
