My lips are sealed Sniff...I'm not saying anything about the North, South divide. :D
I am currently unemployed, Vid. I got my first Universal Credit payment a couple of weeks ago it came to exactly 1p short of my rent. Not sure how I'm going to eat, heat the flat and pay all the other bills. If I don't find a job in the next month or so I will be homeless. Still, it's a laugh, isn't it?
Don't mean to pry Sniffer, but can't you claim your rent from Universal Credit?
Firstly, thanks lads. Genuinely touched.
WW, the Universal Credit is made up of a percentage of your housing costs and a living allowance. The two combined came to a penny short of my rent. Which would be fine if I could get a part-time job to top it up but, if I did that, I would have 63p docked from my UC for every £1 I earned. Effectively a 63% tax. I could apply for a hardship loan but I'd have to start paying it back immediately on a monthly basis thereby giving myself less to live on. It's an incentive to get back into full-time work but it's more stick than carrot.
Ironically, I've been applying for jobs in the Civil Service for the Department of Work and Pensions. :shock: :)

Thinking positive thoughts for you Sniffer...
Dunno if that actually works, but certainly can't do any harm. :think:
