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. 🙂

    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. ? 🙂

    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!

    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.

    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!
