Re: Welfare State Britain

Re: Welfare State Britain

Not basic benefits, these will be needed. As I said before, there are already calls to scrape tax credits. They cost a lot, are more open to fraud and are relatively new (came in 2002?)

Re: Welfare State Britain

At least one of those conditions you mentioned apply to the tax credits welfare payments too. If the government suspects welfare fraud, your data protection rights go out of the window. They can...

Re: Welfare State Britain

Agreed that those on the many benefits should give something back to the country for the money they are given, but those on the job seekers benefits should be using their time to look for work....

Re: Welfare State Britain

Re: Welfare State Britain

I agree with that and will add that I don't mind supporting those that have just lost their jobs, to enable them to find another job. That's what the welfare system was set up for, to help those in...

Re: Welfare State Britain

The word "tax" in tax credits is misleading as it has nothing to do with taxes paid. You don't have to work to get tax credits. Tax credits are a welfare payment. Some people missed out on this...

Re: Welfare State Britain

Re: Welfare State Britain

The "sensible people" will realise they are applying for welfare payments, when they fill in forms asking the government for financial help for their children, based on the parents income.

You don't have to be working to get tax credits. In fact the way it was set up, the less you work and don't save, the more tax credits you get. It was a crazy, ill thought out idea
