I am not looking to light a fire here, but as the son of a builder and knowing how hard my Dad struggled over the years. It would seem that many of you live in a bubble.
A proportion of the posts come across a bit arrogant if I am honest.

This is it. Back in the day on the council estate we were always working for cash in hand. Someone said not paying tax effects the ones that need it most. A lot of the people that needed it were getting off their back sides and doing cash in hand.
Bloke I worked for the other day said his sister claims everything she can. Gets £2900 pm for doing nothing and playing the system.
Tax well spent.
if you pay tradesman cash, how are MPs going to steal it and pay it to themselves like PPEmedpro.
Benefits cap is £1835 pcm for a couple, or single parent with children. It is a much lower £1229 for a single adult.Originally Posted by sprite1275
A bit more if you live in London.
What drives you to Google so many things just to post something?

To cut through the bullshit and urban myth.
If I had a pound for every time I heard/read that so and so is claiming ££££s in benefits every month, I'd be able to retire and stop claiming ££££s in benefits.
Is that including claiming for disabilities? She has kids. Also when did that cap come in? If you were claiming before that I'm sure you kept whatever you were claiming?

Certainly no life of luxury
Sems like you are a little uneasy about tax money supporting a family with someone who has a disability.
I hope you don't have the misfortune to place demand on it.

For doing Sweet FA there are likely people working on less.
Scouser to Surrey, luck of the housing market, please don’t move to BOA on retirement.

Tbf there are a small amount of people (% wise) who will never work because their benefits are almost ‘double’ the wages they could ever hope to earn.
His brother likely.

And Tbf there are a small amount of very rich people (% wise) who continue to scam, dodge, and undertake shady deals for greed.
The margins are never an acceptable place to measure the cohort by.
Nope. Benefits are awesome for people that need it.
