    It’s my understanding that UC claimants were initially given this £20 weekly uplift for a one year period (March 2020 to March 2021).  This was then extended for another six months to Sept 2021.

    This means that if this court case is successful, as it should be, people like myself on income related support group ESA should receive the £1040 for the initial one year period and a further £520 for the six month extension.  A total of £1560 to the end of sept.

    Excluding the disabled and people on JSA and Income Support was a rediculous decision that must be put right.  That money would make a massive difference to me, as I’m sure it would to you.
