An Edinburgh mum has warned she is better off on Universal Credit, rather than working, due to expensive childcare costs.
Nanda Harris, 38, from Portobello, was just one of many people to take part in a research project by One Parent Families Scotland on how the cost of living crisis and current social security system is impacting families.
The report which is titled ‘Living without a Lifeline’ focused on a variety of topics that are impacting single families from the cost of living, social security, childcare, employment, housing and mental health.
