in Universal Credit (UC)
As I have been sick for some time and the pain is worsening, will I be penalised by UC for signing up for a private GP plan for £99 per month? The waiting time for my NHS GP is beyond a joke and I have been promised callbacks which never came.

    No. You can spend your money on anything you want to.

    Hi @Beserkernaut, I hope you're doing ok?

    As both Poppy and Woodbine have said, you can spend your money on what you want, but trying to change to a new GPs might be worth looking into?
