We believe this affects hundreds of thousands of families in the UK especially single parents who are doing their best to work and juggle parenting. If someone got a £300 bonus in work in most cases their UC would be reduced by 65% of the net payment. We think a change is needed to allow for these bonuses to not effect their usual monthly payments.
