A mother-of-eight has shared the harsh reality of her life as she struggles to get by on benefits. Pam Booth is currently a student teaching assistant and receives just £274 a month in Universal Credit payments.
And she says until she began to get help from a foodbank her family was living on beans on toast - or whatever they had in - for their tea as it was all they could afford.
Pam, from Seacroft, Leeds, has eight children aged between 13 and 29. Four of them, aged 13,15,17 and 21, live at home along with her pet chihuahua and her daughter’s Staffordshire bull terrier, reports Leeds Live.
