“A single mum of a teenage daughter called our team for help when she became unwell quite suddenly, had to stop working for a while and couldn’t afford to pay rent. We supported her to claim various benefits. During our calculations, it became apparent that she had been missing out on over £500 every month! As a single parent on a modest full-time salary, she had been entitled to Universal Credit all along.”
