Hi, my name is griff62!

hi all. I’m wondering the same thing. Who is getting the £780. I’m on universal credit but I don’t know if it’s means tested. 🙂

griff62

thank you Nightcity. I thought it was too good to be true. 🙂

Hi @griff62 and welcome to the community. As nightcity has said, it's false information which some news sites like to pass off as true. Always good to check!

hi Rachel_scope

thank you. Why do people post this sort of stuff. ? 🙂

Rachel_Scope

Yeah just as nightcity has said, they want the clicks! It's incredibly frustrating as a lot of the stories are just scaremongering and naturally people start to panic. If only we could ban fake articles, it'd save a lot of worry!

griff62

yes I think fake posts need to be banned. That post would probably have got a lot of peoples hopes up. It’s bad enough people are struggling without idiots posting rubbish like this.

Rachel_Scope

I completely agree. It's too easy for these sites to target vulnerable people. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever be able to ban them, but we can dream!
