As for voting intentions im sure if you have suffered it will impact on how you vote but more problematic is what alternatives are available, i expect none now for me.

Wrong matey, - the whole ethos behind it wasn't to simplify the system, but to impose cuts to the social security budget - something which is being done and people switched from Employment Support Allowance to Universal Credit are losing, on average £100 per month!!! - despicable scumbag 'nasty party'!!!

Re: Universal Credit & voting intentions

I think the disability benefits should have been kept separate. People waiting for Universal Credit may not have enough money to eat properly or even pay for prescriptions.
I don't even know if I'll get dental treatment etc. Good job I had surgery right in the middle of moving! I know I have 6 months to find out!
I get the feeling the powers that be are making things stressful hoping we either give up or die!
