'I slept with a married man for £20 on Christmas Day because Universal Credit left me so skint - now I see 15 men a week'

telling how Charlotte was left with just £1.64 a day to live on after bills.

Universal Credit replaces six benefits with a single monthly payment. One million people are already receiving it and by the time the system is fully rolled out in 2023, nearly 7 million will be on it. That's why The Sun has launched our Make Universal Credit work. We demand the Government makes the following changes to help hard-working famililes before it's too late.The government must slash the time Brits wait for their first Universal Credit payments from five to two weeks, helping stop 7 million from being pushed into debt.The work allowance should be increased and the taper rate should be slashed from from 63p to 50p, helping at least 4 million families.

She moved onto Universal Credit in January 2018 but fell £500 behind on her rent while waiting for her first payment and was threatened with eviction.“Something always goes wrong - five weeks is too much. I’m still just about managing now. At one point, after she'd paid the rest of her bills, she was left with just £1.64 a day for her and her son to live on.

IF you're experiencing trouble applying for your Universal Credit, or the payments just don't cover costs, here are your options:e - Claimants are able to get some cash within five days rather than waiting weeks for their first payment. But it's a loan which means the repayments will be automatically deducted from your future Universal Credit pay out.

Officials say that advances are available from day one on Universal Credit - and that Brits can get up to 100 per cent of their cash upfront if they need it.

In some countries they have NO UNIVERSAL CREDIT,THEY ARE STARVING

Just a thought - just get a normal job like most of us has to!!!

She’s black

Get a proper job like everyone else and stop complaining. The rest of us do not owe you. Oh. Looks like you've already got a more lucrative job now. I guess you won't be needing the paltry Universal Credit anymore.

Universal credit is a joke bloody sham !

Well done the Sun for highlighting and campaigning the idea of Universal credit might be good, but the way it has been implemented is a disaster

Now everyday is Christmas

how about get a proper job or get the father of your kid to pay some money. I find it hilarious that the first thing these scumbags think is, 'I'm skint so rather than work I'll spread my legs for strangers'!

That’s one way to pay for the smack!!!

There's people on the streets begging and there not opening there legs, you've chosen to see 15 men a day because quite frankly your a whore! And a skank and want easy money, get a job or shut up, if you have the energy to shag 15 men a day you've got the energy to work

LOL ashamed but I’m happy for it to be splashed all over Social Media for a few £££s lol

Cash in hand 💰👍

Result
