Edison P

This past week has been difficult.

Our universal credit was drastically cut due to me being paid twice in an assessment period - they took my income which was made over 8 weeks to be over 4 and assume I earn more than I do, which if I did I wouldn’t depend on the benefits we get to see us through day to day.

Trying to find a way to get us through the next three weeks is proving unsuccessful, draining and scary.

When will they fix the benefit system so it actually benefits?
