Unemployment rate throughout the 50s-60s around 3%, unemployment rate 2012 8.2%. Getting a job is easier when there are more jobs available.

Unemployment rate whilst disabled has always been pretty poor...dad was registered disabled (when they had that category anyway) by 1972.

Similarly, employment whilst disabled and over 45 has always been pretty eek too...something dad had to face after being made redundant in the late 80's. He managed it after being cheeky and writing to one company asking if they fancied taking on a middle aged bald eagle with a gammy leg :rotfl:, they liked his sense of humour and offered him the job and there he stayed until retirement.

Dad had to completely change his area of work, he was in construction prior to the accident, afterwards, he could no longer do a physical job so had to retrain into office work.

But anyway, that was not the point I was making, it was more to do with the fact that just because someone has a child in their teens, it does not mean a wasted life or one of being completely reliant on benefits.

Your figures are wrong, CTC is £2,690 per year or £51.73 a week for each child. CB is £20.30 for the first child only, then £13.40 for each additional child.

My figures for I.S for the family of four children
£71 mother £60.50 chb £17.10 fp £260 for children

So I.S pays £65 per child and CTC £51.73
how can this be?

When we convert cases from I.S to CTC it always works out the same.

Its not good if the ydo indeed lose so much benefit
But I have never seen this

They don't pay the IS child related benefit anymore, except in old claims. So they will claim CTC. They are actually better off as they get to keep child benefit too.

On my IS claim they still paid the child related benefit of about £60 or whatever it was, but deducted child benefit of £20 as income. With CTC they don't do that.
