Not really the point whether an individual cares or not its discrimination and there’s enough of that going round already. If you didn’t lose out that’s great news, honestly happy for you.
Often UC pays more than ESA, Housing benefit, council tax benefit etc separately and then they add £20 a week extra on but not for legacy benefits?
I know it’s not always obvious and not always a lot of money but extras like more water use from more hand washing, gloves, face masks etc, prices rises, hand cleaning products, eventual increases in insurance (like life policies), delivery fees and more have all added up. Also huge electricity and heating oil increases due to having kids at home all day every day, computers on for schooling, heating on when it would’ve been off etc, mobile phone costs (data no broadband here). Between Sept & Dec we had to wash school uniform EVERY NIGHT.
Plus when the online supermarket delivery screws you over and you have to go out shopping anyway (like delivering coffee hot x buns, fresh pasta not dry, rotting veg, stuff with 12 hours left on use by all of that was in one shop, got to laugh really absolutely pathetic.
Anyway don’t want to go off topic just to highlight that many have had additional expenses and that £20 top up is the least they can do it’d clear debt built up on utilities & cards too
