A former NHS worker is living on cartons of vegetable juice after his Universal Credit was reduced by £88. Former NHS call handler Errol Livingstone has been sanctioned for not attending a course about interview techniques, meaning his benefits have been docked.
Errol thought he didn't have to attend due to his experience in recruitment, but will now have £11 per day for eight days cut from his next monthly payment of £319.84. Errol said he is already struggling to pay his bills and buy food.
At times he has lived on cartons of pure vegetable juice, fresh orange juice and fruit. He also has to take food from his elderly mum.
