Universal Credit Recipients Debate Over Spending Restrictions

A poll asks whether Universal Credit claimants should be prohibited from using welfare funds for gambling, alcohol, or tobacco.

One in five working-age adults are currently receiving Universal Credit, according to official figures. A poll by The Morning Poll questions whether claimants should be prevented from spending this means-tested welfare payment on habits such as gambling, smoking, and drinking.

Readers are encouraged to participate in the poll, with the results to be published in the Morning Mail newsletter. The poll is open for participation now.
