Are you allowed to spend your Uc on gambling 🤯 Would it be stopped if you use your monthly allowances all on gambling

    You can spend your UC on whatever you want.

    Your UC can be spent as you please, but as someone who's had addiction issues in the past, if you are spending most of your " monthly allowances on gambling" you have to consider if there is a problem. It's only an issue if bills and other living expenses are not being paid.

    Me wonders if this is legitimate. were hated enough for cheese sake.  I imagine what the 'all benefit claimants are scroungers' brigade would say to this especially as Roland Rat has now decided we shouldnt be ill and on benefits at all.
    You do as you like but I cant imagine having so much I could gamble it. I can barely live on mine.

    If you use all your monthly money on gambling you won't have any so it will be just the same as if uc stopped it so for you there would be no difference
