If you are paying back a Universal Credit Hardship Payment, despite asking them to stop the repayments, you may be able to receive a refund from the DWP if your health/finances were significantly affected by their decision.

The festive period can be financially difficult. The Christmas holiday may mean additional food and bills costs whilst the kids are off school. If you are bringing up a child, there may be benefits, grants or other financial support available to you. https://t.co/3gxy7Pbgft

We welcome the change to the taper rate, but this alone won’t help people who are unable to work due to disabilities or caring responsibilities.

These groups are already facing increased costs and reduced income due to the £20 per week cut to Universal Credit.

[Turn2us - Tackling Financial Insecurity Together @turn2us_org]

In 6 days Universal Credit will be cut by £20 a week. This comes at the same time as furlough and Covid Local Grants Scheme end, and energy prices rise. This will push people struggling to pay for essentials over a financial cliff edge. Be a lifeline: https://t.co/FStmyQ5JGA

The £20 cut will mean thousands of families are faced with impossible choices. Parents will skip meals themselves so they can keep the electricity and hot water on. With @CPAGUK we are calling on the government to #KeepTheLifeline to protect families. https://t.co/8iYtC28236
