Benefit claimants past and present have unveiled a radical proposal to scrap Universal Credit - and instead ensure all adults get at least £163.50 a week.
The sum - half the minimum wage - has been proposed by the Commission on Social Security group as a “streamlined” way of keeping millions of Brits out of poverty.
From April the minimum Universal Credit rate will be around £75 a week for over-25s, with top-ups for those with housing needs, children and disabilities.
