"Myth: you have to wait five weeks to get any money on universal credit. Fact: if you need money, your job centre will urgently pay you an advance."
The ASA said it considered that readers would interpret the wording"move into work faster" to refer to secure ongoing employment, but in fact the 2017 study the claim was based on had included"people who had worked for only a few hours on one occasion during the relevant period".

mainstreamindi1 mainstreamindi1 you're poor and I hate you
the lying effing tory party.
Let's be honest that our benefit system needed a change. Isolated stories of universal credit get more news space than the success of those who work in job centres. The staff deserve some praise. Help the staff in job centres. They believe in universal credit.

You couldn't make it up! When will conservative mps come out and blame them on universal credit for not having enough common sense...
That was a Mis for Universal Credits.
Notice how they only do this crap when it comes to policies actually aimed at helping people.
