There have been reports the Government may keep the £20 per week increase in Universal Credit or provide a one-off bonus payment to Universal Credit recipients. If the increase is kept it should be applied to legacy benefits as soon as possible, or if there is any bonus given to Universal Credit people on legacy benefits should get the same.
