Closed End Universal Credit and reinstate previous system of benefits and tax credits

Closed on

End Universal Credit and go back to the previous system of means-tested benefits and tax credits. It's ridiculous having to wait months etc to receive UC payments, and too many families are missing out and getting into debt because of it. Some are even being left homeless.

Benefits should be separate. Universal Credit is so confusing. Now it's time to help others and stop the poor getting poorer. I feel the old system was run so much better, people didn't get confused because it was separate and was explained better.
