In addition, at the Autumn Budget, a housing measure was introduced to address work disincentives for people living in temporary and supported accommodation. Currently, as the noble Baroness will know, the interaction between universal credit and housing benefit can discourage people from work if they are living in that type of housing. From autumn this year, the DWP will reduce the financial cliff edge for that cohort when they are moving into or progressing in work, to ensure that work pays when they increase their income and that people are always better off in work.
