Dotty G

I had an appointment with my work coach recently, and she did a 'better-off' at work calculation for me, for a job I was interested in.

Once the calculations were done, it turned out that I would be only £200 a month better off!

This is after paying for childcare, medication, travel, clothes, food, etc.

This made me think to myself - are some of us really better off when we work, when those of us on Universal credit stand to lose so much when we do?

😐
