Universal Credit Action Network

The price of fuel is going up, inflation is also going up, already 9 fuel suppliers have gone bust and £20 cut on universal credit which Rishi Sunak addressed by changing taper rate from 63p to 55p for working claimants. In coming months many vulnerable communities may face hardship.  Positive Money Hackney and Positive Money Tower Hamlets call for a Facebook live and in person public meeting to raise awareness of fuel poverty. Join us to understand about the fuel industry and your rights against suppliers.

UCAN has produced a video for Unite Community Brighton to support their campaign against cutting the £20 uplift introduced by the current government to reduce financial hardship during the pandemic. Furlough Scheme is to come to an end from 31 Sept 2021 and Minimum Income Floor has already been reintroduced. By cutting £20 from universal credit and other benefits would no doubt increase hardship and child poverty in our communities. Just providing debt advice is not enough.
