Universal Credit will be raised by £1,000 a year as part of a major coronavirus rescue package.

The "standard allowance" - £323.22 a month for single people and £507.37 a month for couples - will be raised for the next 12 months.

Working Tax Credit will be raised by the same amount.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the move would "benefit 4million of our most vulnerable households".

I have not found any info about how much it will increase or if it affect JSA.

Simple Calculations; £1000 per year = £83.33 per month; = £19.23 per week,
Most ? people are now on UC, not heard or found anything about JSA
