“The two cost-of-living payments – worth £650 in total – will be paid automatically to anyone in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland receiving any benefit.”
Any benefit?
Making the whole situation worse as a result. Consider what has caused the uptick in inflation and the cost of living over the last year, yes it’s all the COVID relief and QE/printing of money.
They do love that six week delay before paying. Makes sure you are starving and will spend half your payment paying back the loans you took to feed the kids.
Bastards.
As a zero hour contract worker who still has to rely on Universal Credit, I fully expect to get fuck all because I’m earning cash but not enough to fully support myself and they’ll deem it as not low income. The payment is fucking shit! I thought it was £650, not two payments that come to £650. That does fuck all for most people.
​
If I do get the payments, I’ll be surprised but I suspect, they’ll count it as earnings thus really, does fuck all for me if my hours are shit. This is just a fucking token attempt.
