14th October, 2021.
Hmmm …
You’ll remember that I’m job hunting, at the moment: and, like many of us … ?
Claiming Universal Credit: the main unemployment benefit for non-working people.
Like many of us … ?
I benefited from the Uplift to Universal Credit: an extra twenty pounds per week that was introduced during the pandemic.
That got withdrawn, on 6th October.
It hasn’t been reinstated: and frankly, I doubt it ever will be.
However?
The Universal Credit site — the site where I have to keep a job hunting journal, and message my case worker — has now introduced an Uplift Button.
OK, doesn’t do much more that whinge about it: and possibly get budget help.
But it’s something.
