Explanation of universal credit for those that have never heard of it

[Jim Brady]

I don't know how many people receive £20.000 pa on benefits this attachment tells you the amount that you would receive if unemployed.So throw another £100.00 pw on for rent and a further £2.000 for rates still comes to nowhere near 20 grand.

##i know of no one who thinks that anyone on benefits lives a life of luxury ....as you so boldly suggest louis that again is the type of lefty politics that you reiterate in dogma style time and time again .....but the proof of the pudding is in the massive in crease in people taking short or long term employment and being better off working than sitting at home moaning about what they shouild have ...cappy

So Kong never posted about the family in his road , all on benefits with cars privided by the state!!!!! Mercedes at that!!! Perhaps that only isif you live in Boltonstan!!!

I will have what you are drinking.
seems to be better than my Rum,
In Benefits, any thing over the Tax Allowance should be taxable as income tax, as in a pension, simple.
Many people who are working earn less than people on Benefits and they are taxed over the allowance. so they do not increase a wage to make them pay more tax or increase a pension to take tax so why increase the Benefits to take out tax, ????? the people on Benefits get more than I do on my State Pension and MN Pension, I pay INCOME TAX so what is the problem,?????.

I HAVE NO [PROBLEM.

Seems you do.

In any reality, the Government will have looked at your disposable income and may yet tax you more ?

Chat to your MP etc.

This is the amount of benefits a family can receive. Gov,. Figures. not mine.

. Benefit cap amounts


If you live outside Greater London, the cap is:
•£384.62 per week (£20,000 a year) if you’re in a couple, whether your children live with you or not
•£384.62 per week (£20,000 a year) if you’re single and your children live with you
•£257.69 per week (£13,400 a year) if you’re single and you don’t have children, or your children don’t live with you

If you live in Greater London, the cap is:
•£442.31 per week (£23,000 a year) if you’re in a couple, whether your children live with you or not
•£442.31 per week (£23,000 a year) if you’re single and your children live with you
•£296.35 per week (£15,410 a year) if you’re single and you don’t have children, or your children don’t live with you

ALL TAX FREE
The Single man on Benefit gets more than I do with my State Pension and MN Pension. then they take off me over £1,000 a year in Income Tax.

You are wasting your time Cappy,
he is on the pop by the sound of him, he talks in riddles he not only confuses everyone he also confuses himself.

maybe he should get a Benefit for his confusion.

[Jim Brady]

Brian where did you get those figures from far different than the ones I looked at,or are they including rent and rates even then seems rather high but there you are.

Sir, reread the entire thread yourself.

The only concern you have is with your own pension.

You should have done better.

I am not to blame for your own down fall.
