Emergency Budget: tax credit cuts for millions

allison445

Everyone has there own opinion on most things i would just like to add mine.
The goverment would like us all to believe unemployed people and the welfare state are the root of all problems.
The system is to blame and who created the system ?
Yip thats right the goverment and while we argue and turn against each other they sit and pat themselves on the back.
Bale out the banks
wars
Trident missiles
the list is endless
They squander the money but the people of this country are the ones who suffer.
I survived the last tory goverment and i will survive this one.
Unemployment happens and the vast majority are desperate to find a job.
There will always be people who milk the system no matter what the goverment or anyone else does to try and stop them.
Do we want our children working at a young age ? do we want our children to have no education ? No health care ? No future ?
There are some who will say as a parent it is up to us to provide these things not the goverment.
The children are the tax payers of the future.
Some of the comments on this thread have been very offensive.
Unfortunately free speech lives on and there will always be some who will speak before thinking.
The Goverment only care about power and in the wrong hands this can be deadly.

If the government cutting our benefits, put up VAT then in 5 years later, all peoples who lose out on tax credits cut, benefits cut will going to bring back labour party and then labour party will bring all the tax credits and benefits back again! It will be same story all over again and again. It about the peoples who will suffer the most will boot the government out!

My pay will remain the same in the 2011/12 tax year as I work in the public sector. My partners pay will increase and no disregard will be applied after October. Her estimated gross pay as it stands will be £530 monthly. Giving her an annual income of £6451.00 and therefore a joint income of £22451.20

the change in tax credits will mean you will be entitled to less this year, but due to the drop in NI and income tax, overall you should be slightly better off

I pay my DLA for special interpreter, paying expensive phone bills (using text relay service from typetalk as it take more longer calls on textphone) paying taxi to fetch and drop my son to school every days. Paying my hearing aids batteries at boots (as NHS batteries is no longer in my local GP)

My husband is given a batch of hearing aid batteries at the audiology centre he attends. Do you not have your hearing aids serviced regularly?

So do you think the country should have no defence system? Education is free from about age 4 to age 18. Health care is free from cradle to grave.

I wasn't aware that any of these things were in danger and yes I do feel it is the parents job to provide the necessities a child needs rather than expecting the taxpayer to do it.

I bet a lot of todays children are going to be the ones with their hands out looking welfare benefits rather than the taxpayers of tomorrow. The living on benefits culture has to be stopped. Certainly stopped as a lifestyle choice.

I benefitted under the last Tory Government and fully expect to only pay my own way under this one.

Last time I attend jobcentre interview, they agreed with me, that I am better off staying on my income support, because they re-calculator as going back to work is worse off than my current benefits recieved. As I told them the law say I must make sure I am better off not worse off. They agreed with me on this. The job only offer me poor pay which I will not able to pay the rent / council tax and the disability for my son and myself in need.

Can't you make extra visits to the centre just to get the batteries? My husband is asked to take the used ones back to prove he needs that amount but they give him however many he needs.

I use my DLA to pay for Skyworld with ESPN with HD, 3D & Multiroom with sky talk unlimited with line rental and sky broadband up to 20Meg at £106 per month.

An excellent use of taxpayers money if I may say so.


The sooner DLA requires a medical the better

The medical will not going to stop me and my son of DLA because we both are 100% genuine deaf and need 24-7 care. So, it won't affect us both anyway. I got award for lifetime with a court order appeal last time when I fight DLA for me and my son, the court ruled we both get DLA for lifetime. So, David Cameron cannot take it away from us even with court approved letter show to medical and they will accepted that our DLA can continue.

David Cameron is wrongful and he is bully all disabled peoples but like I say, all disabled peoples who are proved 100% genuine will going to fight again medical team because we are not CHEAT the system!
