Stop the roll out of universal credit it's causing major hardship on working family's the fact people have to wait 4-6 weeks for a payment and it's not backdated. it's also causing alarm and distress to so many family's some even taking there own lives this should not be happening in 21st century
The universal credit system is not working it's causing major hardship to working family's it's causing depression homelessness due to the waiting of payments and then the first payment is only a week payment even though you have no money for 5 weeks the fact more family's have to go to food banks as can't even afford to feed them selves it's not fair this is the 21st century and people should not be living like this
