You don't have an income, savings or pension? The welfare cap may impact you then.

Well yes I do have a small income so I suppose that helps me a tiny amount. Although with pay freezes and increased cost in living I'm still worse of. I don't claim any befits other than child benefit.

I may be wrong but the pensions reforms only seem to help people with private pensions. I'm a long way off getting a pension. And my savings are about to be used to buy a house. Could have done with help with savings a couple of years ago.

Let's face it, the budget was for rich old people. They clearly don't want my vote so they won't be getting it.
