10 reasons why Universal Credit should be stopped
- Unbearably long waits for claimants to receive money
- People can only apply for Universal Credit online making it inaccessible for many
- Not enough help for claimants when the system fails them
- Rent paid directly to claimants instead of Landlords causing people to get into arrears and even to lose their homes
- Letting agents are already refusing to rent to anyone claiming Universal Credit
- Cruel sanctions for both in-work and out-of-work claimants
- Payments only go to one named member of a household
- Universal Credit takes 63p in every £1 people earn
- Universal Credit leaves many working families much worse off than the old system
- People in part-time work could be forced to give up work that suits their disability or family life in order to take up worse paid full-time work or risk sanctions.
