The Extra £20 Benefit Introduced in Lockdown

@tunisianangle only working people claiming working tax credits or universal credit whice I think unfair

Mick82 when they have 6+kids living separate on paper claiming separate they abuse system I did state not all. But if didn’t have before lockdown they didn’t need before. Some were given 19.50 per child supermarket vouchers for food some were given cash. Working are never better off always living pay packet to pay packet

Ann1984 I believe anyone who can work should work but some people do abuse the system but am proud to live in a country that looks after those who can't even if this leaves the system open to people to abuse .

What about people with less or no kids who would love to work but can't for health reasons@Ann1984

Imnotcheap I did state not all I understand people can't for health reasons. But millions abuse it

Ann1984 yeah a lot of people do abuse the system and that makes people think we are all the same I work and on Uc and if it wasn't for the help of Uc I wouldn't be able to keep my child warm and feed and b4 people say well I should have thought about that b4 I had her I was working full time as a career and I loved it my company closed so we all out of work there was nothing I could do but sign on

PhilipMarc They can put the £20 towards a fine if they break the law.

Only £20? In U.S. they'll probably try to charge five or ten times that.

Plus, breaking the law? The ridiculous COVID laws that Boris has confused himself with? That's great. TheChimp

£20 could be the difference in a child being well fed or hungry might not sound much butility it can mean a alot

chelseaturpin exactly the NHS would have been a good start

Ann1984 yes or putting in back into local councils, or towards charities.
