Firstly, thanks lads. Genuinely touched.Wigan White wrote:Don't mean to pry Sniffer, but can't you claim your rent from Universal Credit?Sniffer wrote: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?Viduka Hits The Mark wrote:https://www.lovemoney.com/gallerylist/7 ... s-revealed
My lips are sealed Sniff...I'm not saying anything about the North, South divide.
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.

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