Details

This research evaluated the experience of customers who had stopped getting tax credits and ‘naturally’ migrated to Universal Credit (because of a change in their circumstances).

The aim was to understand - and therefore improve on - their experience.

The research had 2 elements: a quantitative phone survey, and a qualitative face-to-face study. It was conducted jointly with the Department for Work and Pensions.
