Eating Porridge For Dinner

BBC Radio 1Xtra - If You Don't Know, Eating Porridge For Dinner

Surviving on government hand-outs..

Next month, Universal Credit - the new combined benefit payment -  is going to drop by £20. The extra cash was brought in to help during the pandemic and was never going to be permanent, but it got us thinking: What affect is that going to have on people who have got used to it? We chat to Selina Flavius from Black Girl Finance about how big a deal this is. And Naeyma from Newcastle is on, to talk about how she balances heating and food, when the going gets tough.
