"Universal Credit supports people into work and helps them increase their earnings while providing a vital safety net for those who need it, while the old system trapped people on benefits or taxed them punitively for taking on more hours.Amber Rudd admits 5-week crippling wait for benefits HAS pushed people to food banks
