Surviving on government hand-outs.. Next month, Universal Credit - the new combined benefit payment - is going to drop by £20. The extra cash was brought in to help during the pandemic and was never going to be permanent, but it got us thinking: What affect is that going to have on people who have got used to it?

Hosts: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts Producers: Jack Suddaby Sound Designer: Jack Suddaby Episode Editor: Rick Kelsey
