Universal credit: 10% deducted from claimants, figures show
Ministers have been accused of “penalising struggling families” after figures emerged showing that £1 of every £10 in universal credit payments is deducted from claimants.
Data published by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows the total amount of money withdrawn from claimants’ monthly allowance under the new system has increased from £13,000,000 to £39,000,000 in the year to October 2018.

Sadly believable; UC was designed to take money from the poorest. It has been a monumental success in that aim
