Leeds dad on Universal Credit 'eating nothing but porridge' as he 'suffers' through cost of living crisis

A hard-up dad-of-two has admitted that “all he’s been eating is porridge” while he silently “suffers” through the cost of living crisis.

Leeds man Terry Delattibeaudiere, 56, currently depends on Universal Credit to survive after losing his job as a train security guard during the pandemic. Terry, an asthmatic, was dealt a major health blow after contracting Covid-19 which saw him parting ways with a major railway operator.
