If you are already receiving Universal Credit but are still struggling you may be missing some elements that you are entitled to.
On top of the standard allowance, a person might get additional allowances including child element, childcare costs element, limited capability for work element (LCW), carer element, housing costs element.
Anyone experiencing ill health or disability or caring for a child or adult will be entitled to extra money on top of Universal Credit.

Housing element of Universal Credit
The housing element of Universal Credit needs to be applied for separately and is sometimes missing causing a person to be unable to pay their rent.
Check to see if you receive this on your Universal Credit account.
