Some Britons receiving Universal Credit have been denied their 'vital' cost of living payment due to sanctions at the Jobcentre.
Former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, said that the lump £326 sum in July would show some 8million residents of the United Kingdom that 'we are on their side'. But guidance sent to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) staff, seen by the Mirror, told them to refute certain claimants of the payment if their benefits were stopped.
This has led to campaigners demanding that the DWP revoke the 'outrageous' and 'ill-judged' decision, with energy bills anticipated to soon exceed £5,000 a year.
