Closed Extend any Universal Credit uplifts to legacy benefits

Closed on

The welfare system should be one system. The Government should include legacy benefits in any bonuses or increases that are given to Universal Credit and ensure they are treated the same.

There have been reports the Government may keep the £20 per week increase in Universal Credit or provide a one-off bonus payment to Universal Credit recipients. If the increase is kept it should be applied to legacy benefits as soon as possible, or if there is any bonus given to Universal Credit people on legacy benefits should get the same.
