    I have had my child tax credits stopped because i got a migration notice and had no choice but to apply, the child tax credits which are for my nephews now they will go without the things they need, what has universal credit got to do with child tax credits and forcing people to go to work in my situation i live with my mum who has mouth cancer and needs my help for phonecalls or making appointments picking up medication ect and recently she had a biopsy that she has cancer in her cheek even though i have made it clear that i am not looking for work and not ready they still say that i am its not right or fair when i have to be there to support my mother through this difficult time, they just dont care and talk over you about your next appointment. I will be taking this further.

    I was put on UC as a full time carer in 2018.
    I had rent arrears of £150 so my housing costs were paid direct from the start .
    6 months later I had rent arrears of £6,000 !
    I have paid of £2,000 for rent arrears via deductions .
    I have been living on £90 a week to run house and my costs as a carer .
    I have been food banks as well .
    I get battered with arrears from so called previous arrears I had no idea about .
    In 5 years I have paid £6,000 in total of arrears combined .
    I cannot survive and very stressed
    I cannot give up caring role as the person I care for will become extremely poorly

      Some councils offer a discretionary housing payment to help with housing costs though its not a large amount. You could also look into hardship payment from UC

    the uk government is legally bound by law , under the human rights act to protect the welfare of its citizens, with this in mind how can they legally impose sanctions upon people leaving them with no means to feed themselves, every uk citizen is entitled to this right from the day they are born in this country, so how can they make demands on you to get universal credit, they have to look out for your wellbeing by law, you are not bound by law to do anything to get Universal credit, so how can they tell you , you have to attend a mandatory meeting , and if you dont stop your only form of income

    Not liking the Work Capability Assessment form, you need 15 points to get awarded, and its worded unfairly like "can you use either arm to reach above your head" well yeh, i can, but thats totally avoiding the point that i cant use "reach" with my other arm, all the questions are like that, its total bs.
