Individuals who are in receipt of Universal Credit, which can be a considerable amount, can be vulnerable to exploitation, especially in cases where they struggle with addiction, where funds may be used on substances and alcohol, not in supporting their recovery in the community.

Often, these individuals can be targeted for financial exploitation due to their vulnerabilities.
