Universal Credit claimants can tap into extra cash to help them get a job.
The cash comes from a little-known pot called the Flexible Support Fund, and is available to anyone claiming certain legacy benefits as well as Carer's Allowance, Pension Credit and Universal Credit.
The fund is designed to help vulnerable people whose financial hardship is stopping them from getting a job, and the cash can be used for such things as childcare, uniforms or work tools.
