Hands up, I have no experience of how the system works but as I've been reading the news and various threads on here, the same thing crops up again and again: JSA, housing and other benefit claims take so long to process that people are left destitute and once they are approved it takes so long to make changes that it's often not worth taking casual jobs.
So with the universal credit why can't job centres process claims electronically during appointments with claimants, with money paid using the 3 day payment system?
Is that totally naive?
