Does anyone know about Universal Credit? All this fun stuff....so work is making redundancies in the new year. I'm trying to work out what else I could do - but not sure how many jobs will be out there or what else I'd be good at....So....:
If I get Universal Credit - that is £400 per month. Which needs to cover Council Tax - maybe £200 in a month, then bills - are they £100 in a month? That will leave me £100 for food and everything else. Is that correct? I might (maybe) have my own place to live - but in that case I might have a mortgage which won't be covered by UC at all.
Am I calculating this correctly and is there anything I have missed out? Maybe I can live on £25 a week on food ?! Is that how it works?
I really wish I spent my whole life thinking about money rather than working in the charity sector and squandering everything with no game plan. But here I am!
Thank you all kindly :)
