that was retaliation and something i have no intention if actually doing ( not that is any business of yours)

please not that I didnt tearn this thread onto the topic of me.
thats was done by midnight express.

so yjru atr yjr pmr yp b;ame when it becomes extremely tedious (again)

The thread turned to you after you made a nasty and hypocritical comment to the OP. At least he is trying to better himself, unlike some ...

you consider me to be better off?
how exavtly?
i have £100 a week ( now that i no longer have to top up HB)
compared to someone on JSA, i am better off, but hardly an amount that affords any degree of 'lifestly ( as benefits shouldnt)

Let's not forget the £250 you give to your mate to keep you company each week! Tell me how many disabled people can afford such a luxury?

Nannytone is blind, thats why she gets benefits.....

Many blind people choose to work and not rely on benefits. Given nannytone's ability to use the computer, one wonders why she does not make that choice.

i dont ' give' anything to a 'mate'.

i employ my friends daughter. she is on the books abd both tax and NI are paid.
i have NO access to the money at all. i sont even know the name of the bank that the money is paid into.

what was my hypocritical commment?
i said someone on 40k a year shouldnt expect benefits for having a baby above and beyond child benefit.

how is that hypocritcal?
i neither earn 40k and nor am i having a baby and expecting benefits for it

i agree a lot of blind people work, but the jobs they do tend to be at a higher level.
for someone fairly recently without sight, all my work experience has been in roles for which eyesight is essential.

You make me so angry, read the thread again.

I dont EXPECT any benefits. I was just asking if anything might be available.

If I had my way, there would be NO benefits. Some people, especially with bad attitudes to those that pay in, should be completely stripped of taking any of the money.

I'm so pleased the Government is trying to reduce the amout of benefits paid to those types of people. Make hay while the money is rolling in nannytone - with any luck, it might not be forever.

As someone else mentioned, you seem capable of typing a lot on here. You could get a job somewhere - perhaos a call centre. ~However, this would mean having to get out of bed and doing something with your life.

No, probably best to stay on benefits, right? :mad:

your comment said
'wow, so thats all it costs to keep a baby'
in response to the post telling you that you would receive £20 a week child benefit.

that looks to me like you consider that someone else should be paying towards the raising of your child

so people with bad attitudes ( presumably people like me) whi have paid in for many years should get nothing?

how ignirant you are. i am actively seeking work, but in a rural area there isnt work for fully sighted people, let alone blind ones.

you can sit all you like and feel happy in the thought that people 'like me' ( the disabled who have paid into the system for many years?) will suffer because of the benefit cuts.

but the genuinely disabled who have striggled through the reductions in housing benefit ( ive managed to sort that one out) will still be entitled to state help.
blind people have been notoriously poorly served under DLA and it is expected that this will be addressed under PIP/
have to wait and see, but I always have managed and will continue to do so.
thanks for your concern and good luck with your baby

nannytone,

I believe your presumptions about me are the problem.

Yet again, I don't expect anyone else to contribute to me raising a child so stop saying that I do. I don't think I need to explain this again.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Good luck with your job hunting nannytone and I bid you farewell.

nannytone_2

my assumtion came from your reply to being told that you would be entitled to child benefit of £20 a week

'[/Wow, I didn't realise babies would be that cheap to keep!'

in your own words, it infers that you consider that you should be getting a contribution large enough to meet the costs of your child.

Don't shoot the messanger here OP, but in all fairness you started this thread because you wanted to know what money you could claim to help support your child..

The op is losing after tax allowances what is nearly 40% of their income. For most people that is s massive drop. Coupled with news reports of generous child benefits, I found their comment of wow is that how cheap it is to keep a child an observation. It is really for most people who claim child benefit a case of well it may help, but it isn't going to keep them.

Families on benefits get larger housing, tax credits and child benefit. The op is facing a massive fall in income and made a joke of wow babies are that cheap. Certainly not a demand for benefits.

Op - yes you get only child benefit, unless they lower the threshold and you could lose that at some point. If your wife goes back to work you may also get help with childcare costs, congratulations on your news.

no the OP isnt losing 40% of their income aftert tax allowance.

they only pay 40% of income above the thresgikd, not on their entire earnings after their personal allowancwe.

i dont know what the threshold is at the moment, but if they earn 40k and have a company car then they are only paying 40% on 2 or 3 k of the total amount at most

if a catastrophe happened, then the OP would be offered the safety net of benefits that everyone else also has access to ( and yes i do appreciate that some people make claiming benefits their job)

i also think the remark was a flippant joke, but it was unecessary when others on a far lower income are struggling to and would love to be in the OP's position.

not every person who receives benefit has made a career out of it, and many would love the chance to swap the problems which keep them on benefit for the chance of earning far less
