Fix UC standard allowance reforms being ignored (#1472)#1507
Conversation
Move the rebalancing standard allowance uplift from set_input in uc_reform.py into the uc_standard_allowance formula itself. The set_input approach baked values before user reforms were applied, causing parameter reforms to be silently ignored. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
set_input()inuc_reform.pyinto theuc_standard_allowanceformula itselfgov.dwp.universal_credit.standard_allowance.amountare now respectedRoot cause
The UC rebalancing scenario used
sim.set_input("uc_standard_allowance", year, ...)duringSimulation.__init__(), which baked values BEFORE user reforms were applied. The formula was never called, so parameter reforms were silently ignored.Fix
The formula now reads the rebalancing parameters (
rebalancing.activeandrebalancing.standard_allowance_uplift) and applies the uplift multiplicatively to the base amount. Since the formula always runs, user reforms to the base amount are respected.Test plan
