Did you know that scammers can spoof the phone number of legitimate organisations? If you receive a cold call, never give out personal or bank information. Hang up, wait 5 minutes for the line to clear, and call the organisation on their official number.

🚨Awesome data alert🚨
Our web data seems to mirror DWP data, so we thought we'd predict how many Universal Credit claims there'd be from 12-28 April. We predicted 512,328.
Today DWP published the answer: 511,940.
Red line is our prediction. Blue line is how it turned out.

No one should fear getting ill or risk their health because they won’t be able to pay their bills. We’re calling for government to
