tamthebam Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 There was, once upon a time, an idea that saving money was a virtuous thing. A little bit put by here and there, whether it was into Friendly Societies or Savings Banks. It was, dare I say it, a Conservative value. Now that the Party has been taken over by spivs and chancers it's now "don't bother saving, give me your money and I'll make you rich pal, oh dear you've lost it all, well, that's life and get out of the way of my Bentley as I have to go back to my mansion" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 21 hours ago, Billy Jean King said: Speaking at the conference, Braverman told The Telegraph's Christopher Hope there are "far too many people" who are able to work but don't. Instead, she said, "they choose to top up their salaries with tax credits or whatever". Whatever Cruella.....absolute weapon of a woman. If you or I made those sort of comments in public we would be close to arrest, that's assuming we hadn't had our head kicked in (desevedly) first. I do recall somebody who was working for us saying that they’d love to work some more hours but, if they did so, it would affect their benefits. Maybe that’s what she was referring to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you work more hours, say from 14(2days) to 21(3days) it doesn’t affect benefits? I’d like to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an actual point where you UC becomes a nil award and many times people have had their claims closed by the DWP forcing them into another waiting period and losing out on some things like free dental care. I am sure you have seen this. I know people who have not been paid the Cost of living payments because of closed claims. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we've had a few of these situations, also folk who were sanctioned during the qualifying period, worryingly including sanctions which were subsequently successfully appealed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
