This means the vast majority of Universal Credit claimants are better off getting help with their childcare costs through Universal Credit than through the voucher scheme.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Most vouchers schemes are run through salary sacrifice arrangements, and because you cannot salary sacrifice below the National Minimum Wage, the vast majority of parents on low income are not able to get childcare vouchers.<\/p>"}
