I'll accept you view, but for people in my position, I am working for mimimum wage, and people in the same job who are 25 and over can apply for and get financial assistance.
People my age group don't get squat for the same job! Is that fair?

Perhaps they shouldn't get it either?

Tax executive income at 95% for earnings/rewards/benefits totalling over 50x (or other arbitrary multiple) the lowest annual salary the company pays to any other full-time worker. This ensures that executive pay can only go up significantly if the lowest paid workers' wages also increase.

I really like this idea, could it be made to work?

why is there now a 2-tier CSA system in place and we can't be re-assessed on the new system?

we are struggling to raise a family on one income whilst the ex wife gets 50% of our 'disposable' income (everything bar the mortgage) even tho she and new hubby have good jobs and they rent out property?!!!

not fair

It's simple: make it illegal for travel and hotel companies to hike up their charges during school holidays and half terms. It's a rip off at present, small wonder that so many children are taken out of school for family holidays. :mad:

When people become sick or unemployed, any delay in receiving benefits can cause them to get into serious debt very quickly. Some sort of emergency loan system in place which could be repaid when the benefit comes through would be helpful.
