Grandad.Malky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 They dont expect child benefits to help them pay the extra mortgage payments If you say so but I would beg to differ. You weren't talking about the single parent versus couple issue Wasn't I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 So you are against the whole idea of universal benefits then, would it be OK for your granny to be means tested before she gets her winter fuel allowance for example. It would seem sensible in the same way that a location check would also ensure that people living in Marbella don't receive it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Maybe they should just scrap all child benefit. Why should you get benefits for having children which is a perfectly natural human condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have started off by making cuts to the so called “rich” because most people think its not going to effect them but once you start to lose the idea of universal benefits where will it end ……………. I see some interesting threads in the future with some people having their smug smile slightly distorted to :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenger Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 They already have a method of checking couples joint incomes - Tax credits. They should make Child Benefit entitlement part of the process of claiming tax credits - just a small additional section on the form, minimal extra paperwork, and then it becomes fair because it's based on total income, not just one parent.

crookesey Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Go into McDonalds in Sheffield town centre today about 11 and see the vile chav families who are currently infecting this country. Why should I pay to support their breeding habits and disgusting lifestyle ? This country has become a complete joke ! How would you know this, you weren't on a chav netting mission by any chance were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 To where a council house perhaps, by the way did you ever reply to my question about Sheffield’s rent arrears or doest that count? . a smaller house, you mentioned a couple on £100k. Im thinking they are likely to be able to move to a smaller house before requiring a council house:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 A household income of £44k isn't a lot? Wish I lived in your world! Some really people haven't got a clue, have they? I could run two homes on £44,000:o. I reckon this will lose the coalition votes big time. No loss there then:D. We should go further and limit the number of children that a family can claim benefit for to 2. Good plan! Didn't Osborn say this time last year that child benefit would stay a universal benefit Yes. But, as he's a politician, you get used to the false promises/lies:D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
