Study links depression cases to universal credit

But the study added to the"mounting evidence of substantial mental-health harms related to universal credit".

Launched in 2013, universal credit, which combines six benefits into one, was an attempt to simplify the welfare system and get more people into work.

Seems focused on UC but even worse abuses are happening under PIP the DWP’s replacement for DLA. Please look at this as well.

No shit sherlock. It's a horrific system that degrades the most vulnerable people in society and toys with their capacity to live.

Where have you been? More deaths caused by DWP than coronavirus bbcnews Cutskill

Depression is caused by the thought that Universal Credit might force people into work...

this should be put on your famous loop-the cruel vindictive tory policies that have driven so many of our people to suicide. pity you didn't speak up earlier, lives may have been saved. i see the nasty party can't find a link. justice for victims.

It might be the other way round depression is the new bad back

Could do voluntery work until they get a job

So they perfectly happy on Benefits just not this one

get your axx to work and stop complaining...stop flooding the pubs ar 0900 am and go to work... plenty of jobs out there for your lazy lot

WORK!

Find a job then, they'll feel so much better .

It’s a dogs life....fgs...cheer up everyone on here, summers coming

Incredible, I do hope it was more of a light bulb moment though than a study

The poor and working poor need to rise up against this Conservative government, they need to go to parliament and string them up from the lampposts all along whitehall. 1789 again but this time in England

What a surprise. The BBC churning out even more negative anti government rhetoric. Make the most of it, things are soon changing for you! What is depressing is reading your nonsense.

The reaction of all people who’ve had any dealings or heard anything about UC.
