Universal Credit claimants can get £4,000 support but many don't know it exists

Contrary to the narrative that benefit claimants are cheating fraudsters, it seems the majority of savings are by reducing administrative costs, and nothing to do with more accurately checking eligibility. So, not fraud then.
