Many people are fed up fighting with universal credits systems and many of us are really struggling to make ends meet on this service. Complaints procedure is a joke, and messages in the journal and constantly phoning them for problems which are their faults. messages not being read and dealt with accordingly just passed on too someone else who doesn't have a clue what they are doing. Universal credits should be scrapped!

The stories shared in the comments reflect a recurring cycle of frustration that reveals deep flaws in the current system. I am currently compiling these experiences to ensure the reality of this struggle is documented for those who hold the power to change it.

Seeing this grow has been a profound reminder that the difficulties shared within this system are felt by far more people than I initially imagined. This collective recognition of the struggle provides a foundation for the change we are seeking.

I am currently on maternity in my 5 th month and was told to apply for universal credit to help me out as i wouldnt be able to live off my smp wage once my bills were paid. They did not pay me for 2 months then when they finally did the payments were less and less this left me in debt and in rent arrears. I have a 5 month old son it is absaloutely shocking how they can do this to people
Universal credits have left so many young single mum's in debt I think it is appoling and pointless it's isn't benifting anyone things should go back the way they where before more people suffer from it
Stop hitting the low paid and start assisting them.
Run by idiots who don't live in the real world scrap it
I don't see what was wrong with the old system? If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it!
disgusting ruining peoples lives
This needs stopped it's destroying people's lives!

Far too many problems with this benefit, also having to pay to phone up the universal credit line is an absolute joke because who can afford to do this when you've not been paid anything. Not only that you never get the "problem" sorted over the phone first time or any feedback so find yourself having to ring numerous times. Being made to see a WC every week, who is paying the travel for this? If you don't attend you get sanctioned. It's a system where you are set up to fail - inhunabe and demoralising to people
