In the latest statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), 5.6 million people across the UK were receiving support financially through Universal Credit in the month of August 2022.
Universal Credit is a benefit intended to help those out of work or on a low income with daily living costs, reports the Daily Record.
While many are trying to secure a job, better paid employment or a second income, they could be unaware that Personal Independence Payment (PIP) supports 547 health conditions while still claiming other benefits.
