Brits are losing hundreds of pounds in benefits ‘because Universal Credit IT systems are in tatters’
BRITS are losing hundreds of pounds of their benefits due to huge flaws in the Universal Credit IT system, whistleblowers have revealed. The new flagship benefits system is riddled with flaws that are guaranteed to make mistakes which are pushing people into debt. Workers in the service centres have spoken out about the glitched and errors that the system has, which are repeatedly leading to benefits being delayed for weeks, or wrongly slashed, the Guardian reported.

They claimed the systems were overly complex, prone to breaking, and any errors were slow to fix. "It is not working the way it was intended and it is having an actively harmful effect on a huge number of claimants," they added.

Dive Brief: CMS’ latest update to its Hospital Compare website gives 213 hospitals top star ratings for patient experience, according to the Advisory Board. The agency updated the website on April 25, posting new HCAHPS summary star ratings for 3,466 U.S. hospitals. The three-year-old program rates hospitals on 11 publicly reported measures in HCAHPS surveys, which assess patient experience. The scores are then combined into a single star rating of one to five. Dive Insight: Hospitals have a lot at stake with CMS’ star rating program and other online rating sites.
