Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
I avoid this type of TV as much as I possibly can, unless my wife wants to watch it but then I'll read instead!Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
Good post Steve in some respects. Don't watch progs like Jeremy Kyle at all.Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
Food for thought Steve, what I feel they miss is being critical of the system that has made this problem and the greedy landlords making millions from the system. That is where the real story is.Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
Not sure if it could be considered as 'benefit capping', but I am a pensioner and I get Pension Credit, so obviously someone somewhere considers that my income is insufficient and requires topping up; my son, who has a DLA and who works, gets a working tax credit allowance, so again, someone somewhere considers that his income is insufficient and also requires topping up. However, a year ago he had a minor pay rise, (tax credit adjusted to compensate of course) and because of this MY rent allowance has been removed and MY council tax allowance reduced!! He is not a joint tenant, but the PTB consider him as another adult in the household. Fortunately he has no objection to increasing his 'board' to compensate, but what if he refused?Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
I did watch the programme and although I felt sympathy for the families involved I think people have to be realistic and to realise we can not go on supporting everyone in the manner to which they have become accustom.Re: 'Dont Cap My Benefits'
