Their goal “is to make sure you know your rights and can afford what you need to enjoy life fully.”

New figures from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation:

- 7 million families are going without essentials, including 5.4 million without enough food.
- 86% of those on Universal Credit, and 93% of those with UC deductions, are affected.

Overgenerous benefits, #Dispatches?

There should be a service for people with #ChronicIllness where someone comes to decorate your house for Christmas at the start of December and then returns to clear it all away the next month.
