Reducing the move-on' period will increase levels of homelessness and destitution for people granted protection and put additional pressure on local authorities. The numbers don't add up. It takes around 35 days to receive universal credit. Local authorities need 56 days to work with households at risk of homelessness. Giving people only 28 days to find work, housing or support isn't enough time. Making people destitute ends up costing the taxpayer more money and causing distress and hardship.
