A single mum has revealed how she is surviving on just one meal a day and has to use candles to light her home amid the rising cost of living.
Kelly Thomson, 43, said she has been struggling to get by on just £40 per week since getting long Covid in December 2020 when she was signed off from her job as a cleaner.
Although Universal Credit covers her £1,300 monthly rental and a few other costs, Kelly said she is left with around £160 to live on in Slough, Berkshire.
