I would argue worse and/or more than usually presented in rich/poor terms ie. circumstantially targeted/pernicious and creating/exacerbating needless difficulties and at increased overall expense.

Of course, people still have to sign on, despite being forced to apply for UC online, so jobcentres being within a reasonable distance of where people live remains a necessity, regardless of how many people use them.
This article doesn't really get across the true extent of this, as it focuses on a city. In rural areas most people are looking at 10-15 miles and bus prices of £7-£8 return.
Get this:10% Of Jobcentres Have Been Closed Since 2015 – Despite Universal Credit Rollout
Unbelievable.But a spokesperson for the Department of Work and Pensions defended cuts to the number of Jobcentres in the UK, saying more people were choosing to access their benefits online, “resulting in many of our buildings being underused”.
