HI.
So here’s the thing...
i was unemployed at the beginning of the lockdown...had been since September 2019...through no fault of my own....so I was receiving Universal Credit....
I also have a very slow developing type of cancer...which doesn’t alter my lifestyle one bit....however during the Coronavirus pandemic..I was advised by the Government to shield....not a problem as I wasn’t working anyway....
so I ended up receiving an extra payment for vulnerable people who were shielding, via Universal Credit.
My question is this....when does this extra payment end ????..I’ve been in touch with the Universal Credit who just direct me back to website but I can’t find the information I’m looking for...I just need to know when it will finish that’s all!
Thank you, if you’ve taken the time to read this...
