we have now swapped over to universal credit but i am so afraid as we are losing over £100 a month. its been nearly impossible before now to afford to live and now its going to be worse. plus my wife is being dragged through the system and its making her mental health so much worse.
Yep … how many are losing out on the switchover is recorded on the main UC thread … almost blow by blow :
Not all doom and gloom as the latest posting thereon reveals :

Hi I have lost 800 a month I can not understand why I have lost alot
Pray tell me more , Lisa … and I’ll have a trawl through the main UC thread.
