People who'd never needed it before the pandemic couldn't believe it.
Same with Universal Credit, the main out-of-work benefit that people had to claim when they lost their jobs due to the pandemic. That was about £4,900 a year.
Even if you were on a really modest salary, £25k or so, that's a hell of a shock. To people who were used to twice that or more—and needed it to cover their mortgages—it sounded like a bad joke.
