UC claimants should get the same amount regardless if their partner works.

Couples shouldn’t be punished for one partner working. Others out there receive full benefits, where couples who work struggle. Along with paying tax and national insurance. The half of the couple who does not work should receive the same amount as they would for claiming as a single person.
