Well done Rach


Yeah that's it mate a lot of people are getting confused with child benefit and the benefit cap. I worked for UC up until last month and it is not a question of a few quid a week it is going to be a big bill that needs paying.
Yep, due to the lift of the cap, one of my clients has now just been given a £1k a month increase on top of the £4k they already receive in benefits.

Someone getting £4k (now £5k) in cash, or through other means, rent, council tax, carers allowance, pip support, UC top up etc...

...

£17.25 per extra child.

1000/17.25 = 58

Does this client have an extra 58 kids that were previously going without? Must have been multiple births per pregnancy 'cos 58x9months = 522 months up the duff. /12 = 43.5 years. Obviously on top of the two original kids. (or rather first two kids...)
 
The absolute worst kind…. He rivals 20p Lee for most odious man in politics


After farage and his lackey
Feel like I’ve not heard from 20p Lee for a while, wonder if he’s regretting his decision? I did laugh at Farage being questioned about his racist actions as the spawn of some despicable parents as racism is taught it isn’t something that comes naturally.
 

450,000 children will be lifted out of poverty yet some people are upset…
The stress taken off schools is also to be applauded. There seems to be a stigma attached to the receipt of benefits, like the money is being spent on heroin and sports cars. It'll mean shoes on the kids feet, it'll mean a better more varied diet, it'll mean healthier kids that are strong enough not to get taken down by common childhood ailments and ending up further crucifying an nhs that is beyond it's ninth life.

The same gutter press that pushed brexit also pushed the poverty porn scroungers narrative. I'd have thought with the cities battle against murdoch's sun newspaper and the brutality of the thatcher regime against the poor that the Merseyside region could sniff out and condemn the traitors that've slit throats for their own gains at the cost to the poorest and most vulnerable.

The £4k is made of uc for two parents + the 2 children cap UC element + child benefit for all their children + pip for both parents + disability allowances for the children + housing benefit. Because they are then in receipt of the above they also get help with their water bill and a discount on their council tax.
The lifting of the cap will now result in the client receiving an extra £292.81 per child over the 2 child cap limit so not quite the £1k. They have five children.

This is not a one off either it is very common.
 
Chilf benefit is £26.05 a week for your first child and £17.25 a week for any children after that.
The cap has been lifted on the UC 2 child limit which is -
For children born before 6 April 2017: You receive a higher rate of £339.00 per month for your first or only child.
For children born on or after 6 April 2017: You receive £292.81 per month for each of your first two children.
So with 3 kids that would pay for a decent weekly night out, say 6 pints and a ruby.

Kids…pfft let them eat beans

A solution to this may be for employers to pay people fairly so they don’t need to access the welfare system…. Just an idea
 

Pardon my being a little picky...

So a household of five, and lets be a bit more accurate, a disabled household of five. Pip for both parents could be being used to get carers in to help them. Motability, prescriptions. It was never £5k a month to go out partying was it. Context is quite important in examples like this.

I'm not suggesting you or anyone else is responsible for cases like the following.
