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.
Hosts: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts
