The overall investment cost forecast for Universal Credit development reduced to £1.7 billion in the Outline Business Case (OBC) from an earlier forecast of £2.4bn; demonstrating the on-going cost control focus of the Programme. As part of that overall investment cost the Programme has spent around £500m of investment in IT related expenditure up to September 2017 to support the delivery of Universal Credit.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our latest estimate of the whole life costs, the costs of investment plus the costs of running the system every year from 2015/16 to 2024/25 is £13.6bn, a reduction of £2.4bn from the previous estimate.<\/p>
