Richard says he feels ashamed at having to turn to his severely ill mum for meals and at having to use a food bank
A man says he is distraught at being given just £7 inRichard Williams, 35, opened his online welfare entitlement ‘portal’ to find he had been allocated £7 to last until January – on top of a separate sum of 20p that went into his bank account.
The former fire safety assessor says he is having to rely on a freebie electricity ‘voucher’ to keep the lights on in his flat in Plymouth, Devon. But his rent arrears will have soared to £1,000 by then, he says, plunging him into financial misery. The DWP said it wrote off £516.30 of Richard’s £800 dockyard wage in November/December when assessing how much Universal Credit he would then be entitled to.
