Councils have put forward the figures in the map which show the number of families in Nottinghamshire currently in receipt of Universal Credit or Working Tax credits.
The £20 per week boost was brought in during 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic – but the scheme will end in October, a move which has received widespread criticism.
But the Government said that by the end of September, more than £9bn will have been spent on the uplift – and it is therefore right that the extra support is now “wound down” to focus on getting people into work.
A motion was put forward by Councillor Jason Zadrozny and Councillor Samantha Deakin (both Ashfield Ind) at the Nottinghamshire County Council meeting on September 23, asking MPs for their support in reversing the decision.
