What did you make of the Autumn Statement?

I prefer to read up about all of this rather than listen on the news. I find that I can process it all better. From what I have gathered, in regards to myself, it will help in some ways.

I’m currently on Universal Credit and I get housing benefit too. My rent is high and I appreciate the help I do get but I do have to cover a lot on my own. Add that and normal bills, food, etc.

I do welcome the 6.7% increase as it will help. Does it cover everything? Will I still struggle, probably yes. But with some money management I should hopefully get through it.
