answer text <p>Universal Credit (UC) already supports people who are on a low income, or out of work and helps to ensure that they are better off in work than on benefits. It provides claimants with the support they need to prepare for work, move into work, or to earn more if already in work. It is based on the claimant’s personal circumstances, and this is reviewed and updated on a regular basis. There are separate rates for single people and couples.</p><p> </p><p>Independent, free and anonymous benefit calculators are available that can help individuals to see what benefits they may be entitled to, and how their benefits are affected if they start work or increase their hours. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators" target="_blank">Benefits calculators - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a><em> </em><em> </em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition to address the pressures people are facing that is why the Government has provided cost of living support worth over £37bn in 2022/23.

answer text <p>This Government is committed to driving down rural crime. Our manifesto committed us to use police resources to tackle rural crime. As well as recruiting 20,000 additional police officers, we are also taking steps to address issues that we know affect rural communities. The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act empowers and equips the police and courts with the powers they need to combat hare coursing, and the Government is supporting the Equipment Theft (Prevention) Bill, which aims to prevent the theft of quad bikes and All-Terrain Vehicles. The Government is also providing funding for the National Wildlife Crime Unit. In 2022 Defra more than doubled its funding of the National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) from a total of £495,000 over the three previous years to £1.2 million for the three year period of 2022-25. My Department continues to work closely with the Home Office on all matters relating to rural crime in England.</p> more like this
