Olivia, who lives in the east end of Glasgow, says it was a big shock when she first discovered she would get the lower payment.
Charity One Parent Families Scotland is leading a growing campaign to top up Universal Credit payments for young parents. The group also wants the Scottish government to top up the Scottish Child Payment to balance benefits for all. Through OPFS group sessions, parents also often talk about the levels of stigma and judgement they face."People think you've done this in order to be able to get benefits. What they don't understand, is actually it's below the levels anybody else would get.
