Hi. Can i ask a question? I care 24/7 for my diaabled partner since January 2020 and my partner receives PIP since January 2020. We are both in Universal Credit. I never claimed for Carer'w Allowance due to not knowing about this Benefit. I recently found out and applied. My question is: Can Carer's Allowance be backdated to the day i started her care, January 2020 ? Thank you!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you ever so much for making this video. It's not always possible to remember all this info when your mind is busy thinking surrounded by chaos. This video allows you to pause and deal with each option as you're filling out forms and applications. You have thoroughly offered all the possible ways to help us out. Could you please create a video about migration to universal Credit. I've just received a letter informing me that I will recieve a letter telling me when to apply for migration. I am concerned about cutbacks and being paid less, also non payment during migration process. How will my family survive, got loads of overhead costs and household of 3 young kids. 🙏 create a video addressing my concerns.

[@MoneyNerd]

Hey @nasirimran786! Thank you for the kind words. As for Universal Credit migration, there are excellent sources you can read, including one from Citizens Advice www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/before-you-apply/moving-to-universal-credit-from-other-benefits/ and MoneyHelper www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/benefits/universal-credit/who-is-affected-by-universal-credit. As for the video, we'll try our best to accommodate your request. Hope you have a good day!

EE has home essentials a low income option for people on UC ect. I think that £15 pcm is ok for a basic broadband service. If there's any better deals please let me know.

I pay £10.07 to BT for my landline and broadband. I’m on Universal Credit. It’s well worth applying. It’s also a simple process; just provide BT with the relevant evidence. Obviously you pay for any landline calls, but it gives you a number at least and £10.07 is a bargain for Broadband.

[@2tuff-m4w]

Yes but your broadband is going to be pathetic in everyway unless you just do the odd email and crap. These social tariffs are a con, you're better off with 5G internet cell phone contracts etc. Even giffgaffs payasyou go SIMs are cheaper

[@mikewinston8709]

@@2tuff-m4w No. I’m afraid you’re wrong; you clearly don’t have it. You only know what you’ve read somewhere and someone’s ’opinion’. BT Basic, as it’s called, is excellent. It has never failed once in any shape or context. I’ve had it since October 2021. I started off on £10.07 per month and it hasn’t shifted. My experience; my witness.

[@stuartchapman7934]

Thanks for posting this information, it's Great that you are making such an effort as it will undoubtedly help out those who may be struggling financially right now in these difficult and challenging times. Educating people clearly about all the help currently available is commendable and I for one appreciate this. 👊💯

[@MoneyNerd]

Hi Stuart! Thank you so much for your kind words. Like you said, the more people who know their options, the better. Have a good day!

My gas bill is 70% standing charge the other part is what INEED to cook an heat water only, of all my costs the council tax is the biggest part of my pension going straight back to the ‘consolidation fund’ to pay pet projects like Ukraine.

[@freedomunltd]

It is disgusting abuse by the gov

[@HarryNicNicholas]

the management company of the flats where i live just passed on the rise in electricity to us - i do all i can to keep costs down but the management company shows that their bill has gone from 4k to 17k and they are making me pay - how come they don't get a discount and can they just pass this straight on to me??

[@Kiltoonie]

Carers allowance is complicated - there are all kind of hacks such as legitimate work expenses that can be deducted from your pay - such as a lease car on PCP you need for your job or a mileage or meals allowance, half your pension contributions, any tax and NI etc - and also, dont forget that the earnings threshold means just that - it only counts earned income - not unearned income from, e.g., a workplace pension or income from premium bonds or investments. If your income rises, it is usually better to top up your pension contributions - most schemes allow this.

Tax credits are being phased out. If you have savings of over 16k can you still get child element universal credit?

[@petercollins7848]

People on various benefits seem better off than a lot of Pensioners! If you have done the right thing and saved for your retirement, you will have to pay for everything and get taxed on top of that! The Pension system in this country is a racket! If you get virtually only one benefit, this seems to open the door to many savings that pensioners who have saved and sacrificed cannot get, in fact they pay tax to pay benefits to people who are better off than them! The so-called 10% rise that pensioners are to receive is a ‘con’, as tax has to be paid on it and all other pensions that we have paid into. This results in a fraction over only 6% rise!

[@ScoreGuru123]

Yep. It doesn't pay to work nowadays. Another kick in the teeth, if you worked hard, bought your house and cleared your mortgage, that can be taken off you if you need to go into care. Yet our little brown gimmegrunts that come here illegally get to stay in 4* & 5* hotels, 3 meals a day, spending money, free phone and no bills to pay. Makes you proud to be British
