Universal Credit
I have just read articles on the sky news website www.skynews,co.uk concerning the Universal Credit, which will be announced in the Budget.
This will not help the coalition win new friends, you cannot bring out a new benefit system to try and force people back to work - there isn't any work out there. People whinge that's why foreign workers are getting jobs, where British workers cannot, simple answer to that one - employers are offering cheap wages to keep themself in business. To live in this country, you need a decent wage to live on, everything is going up but not wages. How does this coalition expect people to survive, when they are making cutbacks, they are making people with disability benefit go back to work - to save money. Now they have the Universal Benefit will will hit thousands of people and again people will go onto the poverty line. This is not the 1950's when money was scarce. This is typical of a Tory government of trying to save money, and the Lib Dems should be totally ashamed of themself for allowing this to happen. |

Jesus when are we going to get a non political thread for once as today it just seems to be a political bashing day.

I think the current Jobseekers allowance system is encouraging and helpful to find work, but the pay is very low and I really don't think it is very beneficial for those living alone. I was only on it for about 3 to 4 weeks before finding another job, it was very hard! |

Re: Universal Credit
I've never been in a position to claim benefits. my father did when I was younger. but I can see how people can't survive/afford to live with the cost of living it is today.
but then you have a lot of people on benefits who blow the money they have got on weed and stuff. how much is the average cost a week if you're on weed anyway? |
Re: Universal Credit
Part of the reason why the old system isn't any good is because people miss out on what they are entitled to because they don't know they can claim and there is also so much confusion in the dept itself as to what can be claimed and what can't
