A Leeds woman has been left with just £143 to live on each month as the cost of living crisis continues and bills begin to soar due to deductions on her benefits.
River Olivia Rose, 41, has been claiming Universal Credit for the past 18 months and is supposed to receive an allowance of £324.84 a month but has never received the full amount. Instead, she gets between £90 and £260, the total fluctuates each month, according to The Mirror.
This is happening to millions of people across the UK as benefits are subject to deductions to pay back debts as part of a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) policy.
