A Leeds mum-of-three who depends on a Universal Credit top-up every month to support her family has spoken about “stressful” moments when she's found herself down to her "last tenner".
Paris Cambridge, 29, lives in Seacroft with her husband Sam, 30, and their three children, aged, five, eight and 11. Her eldest Mason is autistic and Sam acts as his carer for which he receives a weekly carer’s allowance.
Paris has spoken about how vital the extra approximately £370 Universal Credit top-up is every month as energy, food and medicine prices rise in the cost of living crisis. She’s currently between work, after quitting her care work job a couple of weeks ago and is starting a new one in another few weeks time.
