Nearly 7 in 10 children in England whose families are entitled to universal credit are not eligible for free school meals

NEARLY seven in 10 children in England whose families are entitled to universal credit (UC) are not eligible for free school meals, a report revealed today.

Households in England receiving UC must earn below £7,400 a year before benefits and after tax to qualify for free school meals.
