Hey @DominicRaab, Disabled Universal Credit claimant here.

I can confirm that I will have to choose between heating and eating this month.

Also, before you say get a job, learn what LCWRA means. Universal Credit isn't just for people able to work, that's the problem.

I already use a Foodbank to help feed my children who I have every weekend. I'm losing weight and am frequently unwell due to my lack of food.

£20 a week is a huge amount. Never mind presents for Christmas, I want to be able to eat and give my kids something nutritional.

You're so out of touch with the real world. People in and out of work are STARVING themselves so they can hest their house or feed their kids.

You're absolutely heartless cowards who only care about their own bank balance.

I just want to live. Utter bastsrds

Thank you for the kind offers of assistance, but please give to your local Foodbank instead. You can help more people than way. Do it ASAP, and not just a one off. People are going to need them.

This cut is going to cause so much suffering. I'm just so angry.

For the get a job crew:

I can be bed bound at no notice, I care for my autistic son when I can & sometimes require care myself. I live in the Highlands, finding a job is hard enough, let alone a wheelchair accessible one who can accept I might randomly not turn up for months.
