Tweets are personal views.1/5 We welcome the increase to the Child Benefit threshold as announced in today's #SpringBudget. Last month, we teamed up with @MartinSLewis to write to MPs highlighting the unfair nature of the threshold on single-income households: orlo.uk/gd86q
Brilliant to hear at the about plans to drop the £90 fee on Debt Relief Orders at the #Budget2024 . We know that this can be an impossible barrier for people in the worst debt to access essential routes to recovery. Will we also see moves to reduce or remove bankruptcy fees?
Utterly unacceptable that people are having to wait so long for their PIP review, especially during a cost of living crisis. Disabled people are far more likely to be living in poverty and face extra costs due to their disability. theguardian.com/society/2023/a…
Great to discuss @YMCAEng_Wales's report highlighting challenges faced by young people living in supported accommodation & navigating the benefits system. Benefit sanctions damage physical & mental health and make it more difficult to move into work.
“I work, and having £5 to live on is traumatising!” A young person on our ‘Breaking Barriers to Work’ report launch panel describes how a small block of cheese is now a luxury, and it may even be unaffordable! The report in full: ymca.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Online shopping is exploiting consumer behaviour. Our recent report highlights that consumers are not always getting the best outcomes because of the way online customer journeys are designed. Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is an example of how design choices can cause consumer harm🧵
🔊A new report published today by @crisis_uk reveals the devastating impact of unaffordable housing costs, rising rents and skyrocketing inflation on low-income households and people facing homelessness as the cost of living intensifies. [A THREAD: 1/7]
Disconnection has been banned for water for decades. Energy is equally essential.PPMs pass responsibility for disconnection from supplier to consumer. It’s time for a conversation about whether these meters are safe in a world where many can’t afford to heat and light their homes
Sat on a train to london thinking about people who pay for their energy on a prepayment meter and can’t afford to keep it topped up in this cold snap. If they can’t put money on it they sit in the cold and the dark. Simple as that. Are we really ok with this? (1/2)
Most benefits will - thankfully - be uprated with inflation in April. Local Housing Allowance (LHA), however, which caps household housing support, will remain at 2020 rates, even though rents have risen sharply. LHA should reflect current rents, not 2020 rents.
Good to see some coverage of this, but for us this is not a ‘quiet’ cut. It has loudly been creating homelessness for years since Housing Benefit was frozen, and that is made much worst with rent inflation of 15%+
DWP told to 'get a grip' over quiet housing benefit cut that hits 844,000 Brits mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Rents are surging at the moment, yet the Government has not uprated local housing allowance since the start of the pandemic. Families on Universal Credit have to dip further and further in to the benefit supposed to be for their other needs in order to pay the rent
