Early this summer, a national newspaper published a string of curious articles. Under the logo Universal Credit Uncovered, the features promised readers of the Metro the truth about this most notorious of all benefits. The series began with a giant advert wrapped around the cover of the paper, coupled with a four-page spread right in its centre, and continued week upon week for nine weeks.
I’ve been on UC for almost a year. Every morning I wake knowing I cannot pay bills and eat. I cannot take any over-time as this has a great impact on UC/HB/CTB. UC is ill-conceived causes depression. I wonder how many,like myself, have considered suicide because of it?
Tax payers want to people who don’t work to have less welfare, in the past under labour people had loads of children and got more benefits and bigger council houses. The resulting problems are with us to this day
sad to hear about it.
This disgusting Tory, (IDS) benefit screw up needs to be gone. How anyone votes for these people is just beyond me.
Anybody surprised as to how low the Tory Government will go so as to squash and tame the poor into submission & divert to cash saved to tax cuts for themselves. Doesn’t matter they are poor squalid people that don’t vote for us.
