A legal challenge to the government’s universal credit scheme is being heard in the High Court 17 and 18 July 2019. The case relates to the controversial minimum income floor (MIF) which is applied to self-employed claimants of universal credit. The MIF has already been the subject of criticism by the Work and Pensions Select Committee and numerous other independent organisations.

The judicial review is being brought by Charmaine Parkin, 34, of Brighton, represented by law firm Leigh Day.
