Hi, Been on various threads and received some mixed opinions so how many claimants are going to struggle when the new changes come in in April 16.

Anyone that claims wtc/ctc is going to see a significant change and feel the burn.
I'm very worried about it all, but it's going to affect a lot of people, so we're all in the same boat.0 -
I don't know if we'll struggle as I still haven't seen a definitive answer as to whether the threshold for CTC is going to be lowered or not.

Some will genuinely struggle, some will be able to adapt by cutting their cloth accordingly, and some will have to stop playing the system. How many fall into each category depends on your interpretation on what costs benefits should cover.0

Thank you. I've been monitoring various threads but hadn't seen any update to this question, nor could I find it in LITRG's press releases since the original question. Have found it now that I know what I'm looking for.:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

People voted in mass to end the "benefit culture" and end it will.
The Turkeys with crap jobs and living on tax credits will get their Christmas they voted for.
Who did they think they meant ?I do Contracts, all day every day.0 -
Depends. Some will see £400 a week plus after housing and childcare for 2:2 as struggling others won't. Struggling is very subjective. Considering a disabled adult at the most has £73 a week to run a house if on Wrag Its very subjectiveTomorrow is the most important thing in life0

If I had £400 left spare per month id consider it a good month!0
