Hi all, im really having trouble understanding the £400 less per month on the universal credit if we are deemed unable to work, it’s not our fault if we can not work for various reasons and we look to be getting penalised for it, this is really stressing & panicking me

    Still very unfair for new claimants or those just starting the wca process even if they have been ill for years but continued to work or was on UC and had to job search. I am one of those.

    Hello @kitty69

    It's definitely on many of our minds right now. We're having a big discussion about it, which you can read here: Upcoming changes to benefits.

    At the moment, no formal announcements have been made, so no one knows for certain what the changes will be or how they’ll be implemented. However, we're actively campaigning and raising awareness through The Cost of Cuts, and we’d really appreciate your support and signature.

    We understand this is a difficult topic, and many people are finding it challenging. To keep the community a safe space, we're encouraging all discussions on benefit changes to stay in one place. For that reason, we’ll be closing this discussion, but we’d love for you to join the main discussion thread here: Upcoming changes to benefits.

This discussion has been closed.
