Dad on Universal Credit 'forced to pawn son's Playstation games to feed family'

mirror.co.uk:

A dad claims he has been forced to pawn his ten-year-old son's video games to put food on the table after being placed on Universal Credit .

Since moving onto the new benefit system last year, Ian Sandeman says his family is roughly £300 worse off a week. The 65-year-old struggles to get food on the table for his four kids, often choosing to go hungry alongside his wife Kerry so their children can eat.

Figures from the End Child Poverty Coalition show 38% of children in Norwich are living in poverty. Our Give Me Five campaign wants an immediate increase in child benefit - a move that would lift 200,000 children out of destitution.
