Closed Abolish Universal Credit and keep Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits.

Closed on

Due to issues around late payments, vastly reduced payments call center advisers that are ill informed, sanctions that are unrealistic, failing to deal with claims at basic levels. Forcing people into poverty and debt, vastly reduced rates for disabled children/adults. Plus an Incompetent IT system.
