‘Extremely callous’ Universal Credit claimants to lose £170 a month ‘can’t be right’ | Personal Finance | Finance

More than two (2.3) million Universal Credit claimants are thought to be affected.

Mr Efford added: “So my calculation is, and I stand to be corrected if I’m wrong, that they stand to gain £330, of which they would lose £171, so the actual gain will be somewhere in the region of £159.”

“I hope by highlighting just how much that is that they will attempt to do something about it and to compensate these people for this loss.”

The Treasury admitted that people claiming Universal Credit may be affected and will report back to Parliament within 30 days.

Meanwhile, more than a million more Britons could be owed £596 a month thanks to a recent Universal Credit rule change.
