hardship payment if your Universal Credit has been stopped or reduced

Unless I am mistaken, people can still claim Hardship as a fundamental right if their Universal Credit stops completely:

Hardship payments
You may be able to get a hardship payment if your Universal Credit has been stopped or reduced. You’ll repay it through your Universal Credit payments - they’ll be lower until you pay it back.

A hardship payment is a reduced amount of your Universal Credit.

Eligibility

You can get a hardship payment if you can’t pay for rent, heating, food or hygiene needs for you or your household.

You must be 18 or over.

Every case is assessed individually. You’ll have to show that you’ve tried to:

find the money from somewhere else
only spend money on essentials
