Charity calls on UK Government to rethink deductions taken from benefit payments during cost of living crisis
New research from The Trussell Trust suggests that four in 10 people claiming Universal Credit skipped meals over the summer to keep up with rising costs. The survey of 1,846 adults across the country conducted by YouGov on behalf of the charity also found that 41 per cent of people claiming the benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) went without meals over the past three months.
