Gregory's Server@QasimRashid smarter people than I have pointed out that our society is one in which it’s not so hard to have consumer items including tech - what’s unreachable for many is a good home, health care and education - and those should not be luxuries!

 @carl24k @QasimRashid  @AutisticMumTo3 @carl24k @QasimRashid Carers payments are also made through UC. However I've heard that deductions also apply if you get more than one type of payment or have any other income. @srfirehorseart @carl24k @QasimRashid https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/effect-on-other-benefits Sanctions its not a set value that is deducted but instead it tends to be the whole of your UC that is stopped no matter how much you get. @srfirehorseart @carl24k @QasimRashid  @QasimRashid @carl24k I have a stinking feeling housing is about to join health care and education as a third "cost disease" sector, and the thought of it gives me dystopian nightmares.

Here in the UK internet access is essential for claiming Universal Credit and for not being sanctioned and have it stopped (both relating to completing your Universal Credit online journal & meeting your job search requirements which often include using the 'universal job match' site amongst other things). And mobiles etc are essential for accessing that stuff too. Under Universal Credit your housing benefit is part of your UC payment.
