benefits I got my UC on Friday. It will be gone tomorrow paying off my direct debits I cannot cancel. Then I have to live on anything I get paid which isn't much and wont be until Friday at least. With another lockdown families aren't going out and don't need childcare. UC wont pay for childcare support if parents are at work yet the knock on effect is on the providers who are also on UC yet WTC is still paying families. With UC being a lice benefit and they don't pay out unless there is a receipt what is the issue? Parents need to know there is childcare still there for them when they can return not have the added worry because and rightly so providers have to earn a living and pay a wage so they need to fill any spaces
