I lost everything when my £4.3k UC stopped.. now I've been sacked from my new job for eating a customer's chips
A SINGLE mum who lost ''everything'' after she stopped receiving her hefty £4.3k/month Universal Credit payment has revealed she's been sacked from her new job. Ebony Wood, 26, used to be living off a mega UC payment, which saw her allegedly receive an astronomical £4.3k every month. 3 The young mum, 26, revealed she's managed to lose her job in a matter of days Credit: TIKTOK/@bonniedontcare 3 Ebony, who allegedly used to get a hefty £4.3k UC payment every month, was caught stealing a customer's chips Credit: TIKTOK/@bonniedontcare 3 Ebony,who lives in a council house, previously dubbed those who work 'dumb' Credit: tiktok/@bonniedontcare At the time, the young mother insisted that those who spent long hours working to earn money were ''dumb''. However, it all took a sharp turn at the end of June when TikTok trolls ''mass reported'' her to Jobcentre and she allegedly lost her rights to UC. Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs. According to the Gov website, it's paid monthly - or twice a month for some people in Scotland. Brits may be entitled to it if they're on a low income, out of work or you cannot work. ''They're taking away all my money and I don't know what I'm going to do,'' she cried in a video posted on her page at the time, sparking fury. Since then, Ebony, who previously begged strangers to fund her boob job, has managed to find a job - and lose it in a matter of days. The 26-year-old was chuffed when she announced ''boss man'' had given her ''a delivery job at a kebab shop''. While the young mum was ''very excited'' after not being in employment in seven years, she skipped the first shift after struggling with ''bad'' period cramps. Sadly, her employment journey didn't even get a chance to start properly, as a few days later Ebony found herself without a job again. Trolls call me 'entitled' because I drive a Range Rover but live in a council house - I don't care, haters are jealous Begging to get her ''Universal Credit back'', Ebony took to TikTok to share the unfortunate update. ''Just lost my job because I ate a chip, fam. ''Did my first delivery job last night and they literally fired me two hours after I started because I ate a chip. ''I'm not gonna lie, I was bare hungry because I worked for an hour solid, and they literally didn't offer me food - so I just robbed a few chips. ''Other excuse was I didn't show up for the first three nights but it was because I was on my period and I was at home ill, you get me? ''So yeah, I'm bare unemployed again. If anyone's got a job, hit me up,'' she begged in the clip. ''Sick of thisss! This is how poor people are really treated!'' she ranted in the caption. Am I entitled to Universal Credit? According to the GOV website, if you're on a low income or need help with your living costs, then you could be entitled to Universal Credit. To claim, you must live in the UK, be aged 18 or over (with some exceptions if you're 15 to 17), be under State Pension age, and have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments. Other circumstances are if you are out of work, or unable to work, for example because of a health condition. 'Welcome to the real world' The video, posted under the username @bonniedontcare, has since racked up close to 13k views, leaving many TikTokers furious. More than 100 people flooded to comments, where critics slammed the former UC recipient. One person commented: ''Are you serious one hour of work and your hungry why didn't you have something before you went. ''Some people work 12 hours and only get 1 hour on break . your so used to living off of other people HARD EARNED taxes you think an hour's work is hard work. welcome to the real world.'' Another chimed in: 'This is what is wrong with society.'' As some kind-hearted viewers offered her a job, someone else said: ''So sacked for stealing….. be accountable.'' ''This is the problem with youth today,'' a person thought.

I'm a UC mum & used to get £4.3k a month – I called anyone who worked ‘dumb' but now I'm about to lose everything

Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs. According to the Gov website, it's paid monthly - or twice a month for some people in Scotland. Brits may be entitled to it if they're on a low income, out of work or you cannot work. 'You lot literally have to work 40 hours a week to get half of what I get - I literally get given £4,000 a month from the government.' She also added: 'If it wasn't for you lot working full time and paying taxes, I would not even have these grey Tommy Hilfiger leggings.' However, the single mother - who previously begged strangers to fund her boob job - recently claimed that TikTok trolls have ''mass reported'' her to Jobcentre - an organisation that helps people find and maintain employment. ''They're taking away all my money and I don't know what I'm going to do,'' she cried in a video posted on her page. According to the young woman, her expenses are so high that even being employed wouldn't be enough to cover them. I racked up £15k debt - here's how I paid it off as a single mum ''Even if I went and got a job, I'm still not going to be able to pay my bills,'' said the TikToker who lives in a council house.
