Thousands of Brits could see their benefits cut after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) implemented a new rule this week.
From Sunday (February 26), claimants must now meet a Universal Credit threshold, with the DWP putting pressure on claimants to increase their wages. Around 40 per cent of Universal Credit claimants have a job and are entitled to receive the benefit to top up their income.
But the amount they have to earn has gradually been going up. Those who fail to meet the latest work requirements could be sanctioned and have their benefits cut, reports NorthWalesOnline.
