A single mum of three children, a young teenager and 11 year old twins has recently had to submit a claim for Universal Credit when she was told she had to switch over. She was a victim of domestic abuse for a number of years and relocated to a new area with the support of the Police. Shortly after she moved she was involved in a car accident which left her with a brain injury and she lost her job. Following being off work for twelve months, she has now found a job but doesn’t start work until later this month and will have to wait for her wages to be paid In the meantime she is without any money to pay for food or cover her bills. We agreed to send her £150 to help her with this.
