A mum-of-eight says her family is living off "whatever they have in" after her Universal Credit payments were cut.
Pam Booth, 51, said she struggled to keep on top of bills and provide for her family while studying to become a teaching assistant. The mum has been visiting a foodbank so that her family is "able to eat".
Her children are aged eight, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 27 and 29. The youngest four are still living at home, and Pam also has to provide for her pet chihuahua and her daughter’s Staffordshire bull terrier.
