Calls are growing for the Universal Credit system to be scrapped completely.
Previously many Scottish charities have said the roll out of the controversial benefit must be paused until fixes are made.
However, shadow chancellor John McDonnell, has said an incoming Labour government will abolish it rather than trying to reform it.
UC replaces six existing benefits with one – but trials have showed it is hurting the people it is supposed to help, with problems including a six week waiting period between claim and payment, and the fact that it’s online only limiting access.
So is UC unreformable? Is it time for Universal Credit to be scrapped?
