MSE News: George Osborne to make £10bn welfare cuts

Pincher

It's easier to give than it is to receive.

Because they bite your hands off if you try to ask for anything back.

David Cameron needs a reality check.

Why should people under 25 be forced to live with their parents to save on housing benefit!!??

He needs to live in the real world and stop harassing people on benefit.

Some of us, like me, are disabled, and genuinely cant work.

I think his attitude to people on benefit along with Ian Duncan Smith I find quite appalling.

I am deeply concerned at these welfare cuts, and I fear vulnerable people like me will be worse off.

Maybe the like of Cameron and Duncan Smith maybe they should try living on welfare benefits and see how they cope.

How would they cope been constantly harassed, attending benefit medicals, and made to feel like a benefit scrounger.

Also maybe do what they do in China only limit to one child per family.

I know of someone who has 12 children, the eldest being 21, and she has NEVER done a days work to support any of the children, and she rakes in thousands of pounds a year.

Its is people like this whom the Government should be clamping down on having children needlessly!!

Lots of people in this country spend decades on the sick. They should get looked at, as well as the ones spewing pit 12 children who never work a day in their life either.

Why d othe MSE teams keep breaking their own rules and posting this sort of thing on here- can't we take this over to discussion time and leave this board for what it's intended to be ?

From their own sticky;

Its about helping people get their entitlement! Not about benefits policy!

This board is here for help and support for those on or looking to claim benefits, not for judgement.

It’s ONLY focus is helping people with their money.

It's here to help people find out what they are entitled to under the current system, and to help them get it.

Benefits provide a lifeline for many, and this site is here to help people with their money, and not to judge. Of course, how to illegally defraud the benefits system shouldn't be discussed here, but ensuring you're getting your entitlement is exactly what it’s about.

We all know the benefits system is a mess – but that’s for the discussion time.

Hear hear!

Absolute rubbish. 1 in 4 households that rent and claim housing benefit are employed. Rents are so overinflated that a lot of people cannot afford to rent somewhere without HB even when fully employed. And house prices are equally overinflated, the average age of the first time buyer is well in to the late thirties.

Im living in a one bedroom apartement , it has a kitchen a lounge and is 5 mins walk from the city centre .. its costs me and matty £280 a month rent electricity is £10 a week water is included

you just have to look around as per usual its easy to say there is nothing out there but if you go and look you can find it ..

ok perhaps all these youngsters might not be able to live in london etc

How are people expected to get to the shops to make use of these vouchers? When I last looked local buses didn't offer free transport for the unemployed. Not everyone either lives close to the shops or is physically capable of walking long distances.

I would give them a bus pass with the vouchers.
you never know they may pop in the JOB CENTRE instead of the PUB.

I think the government's thinking is to prevent much of the abuse we have an the moment, such as the teenage girl getting pregnant and wanting her own house or flat. Maybe if the parents realise they will have to accommodate mother and child (or pay for them to be housed), they may be a little more careful in how they rear their own children.

That's what Italy does; and surprise..... they don't have as many young single girls getting pregnant.

The UKs welfare system is wrong: rewarding bad behaviour is never a good idea.

Taking into account how long the NHS has OAPs living now, they didn't pay enough into the system.

Would you have them killed off? Also please remember that when they were paying into the pot, the majority from aged 15, there weren't all the other benefits around to be claimed that there are now.

I would have extended the pensions changes immediately with no grandfather rights that have been given to boomers.

Hence the pension age changes we have now.
Not good news for me but necessary.
I expect today's pensioners have paid more than future generations will.
They grew up in times of get on and make do rations and a world war. Youngsters today think they have it so bad updating Facebook on the Ipad or Iphone 5 whilst sat in the pub claiming job seekers.

I think you mean single mothers: childless job seekers don't get paid that much.
