Fairness to Farmers: Universal Credit
The shift from Working Tax Credits to Universal Credit is taking its toll on farming families, self-employed people, and seasonal workers.
This is because Universal Credit entitlement is assessed based on monthly rather than annual incomes, with a minimum income floor, meaning that people lose out on vital support.
Plaid Cymru will support using alternative methods of calculating entitlement, including annual income, to ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
