Single mother left worse off by universal credit increase launches legal action over benefit rules

Update newsletter preferences

Who exactly is paying for this legal action then? To me, the benefits parents receive are way too high. For instance; go on the government's benefit checker & a single parent can get £26,500 a year in London. That's over twice a married couple's state pension they paid in for.

The DWP still making the mother pay back a loan that was fraudulently taken out by someone else in her name but without her involvement just makes this even more appalling.

I wish her the best of luck! Universal Credit is an absolute shambles!!

Good.
