So let me get this straight - under this enabling gov, if you're on and through no fault of your own were overpaid, you have to pay up to £5000 back, BUT if you're a like or other VIP donor, you can write-off a few BILLION with not a single penny recouped...

Did I get that right?

Just back from an impromptu visit to our daughter (well, arranged this lunchtime).
An hour each way on the motorway mostly. If all driving were as relaxed as that it'd be tolerable - helped by Alex Kentuky's podcast.

Daughter is doing really well. She's got a shed load of stuff going on which would test the best of us. Not helped by her temporary CPN who seems worse than useless!

people are being extremely helpful!

Ho scoperto che in UK l' (l'analogo del ) viene aggiornato e ricalcolato su base mensile, in base alle entrate familiari.
Da noi, l' è sistematicamente in ritardo di almeno due anni sugli aggiornamenti.
Per dire.

Inadequate and barriers to work

With around nine in ten low-income households receiving Universal Credit unable to afford essentials, this summary draws on growing evidence to show how inadequate income can act as a barrier to work

A student in my department is researching interactions with digital public services. You are eligible to take part if you are over 18, have used the digital universal credit system and have ever experienced homelessness: strathsci.qualtrics.com/jfe/fo would be grateful if you could pass on to anyone who may be interested in taking part. Thanks.

"WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO WIN" the online people will say, in answer to multiple charities, academic studies, politicians, official reports, countless members of the public and God knows what else telling them that: a) the for is a direct driver of child poverty, and b) abolishing it for would be relatively cheap, and would bring dividends.

They've become everything they denounce in the Corbyn people. A cult, arguing furiously against reality when it intrudes on their internal world.

getting butchered on every panel show re the for . LBC have played back a clip to Yvette Cooper of her accusing David Cameron of having a "woman problem" in 2015 re child poverty.

What is the earthly point of voting for Keir and ? The most obvious, relatively cheap, measure to tackle child poverty in the UK and they won't even do that. Abolishing the for should be a total given for them. But they won't. How utterly pathetic.

to not need the living expenses bit. You won't solve the staffing issues by trying to force UC claimants in to work even more than those fit for work & not unpaid carers already are. And you are not going to solve staffing crises if a lot of staff are quiting, as is happening in the NHS, for example.

I got a letter saying my Child Tax Credits is ending and I have to switch to Universal Credit by August.

Stupidly, I switched right away.

What was I thinking?!

Now they want a refund due to overpayment of CTC.

Universal Credit is brutal and harsh. I will be cancelling my claim because I'm not in a position to return to work right now.

I can't go back to CTC. So I will get nothing from now on.
