Universal Credit Are RESPONSIBLE For The Worst Health Decline I Have EVER EVER EVER SUFFERED

It's awful, in this position look at other ways to bring in cash. Car Boot sale, ask family and friends for unwanted items. You can make average £100+ each car boot. Ask churches if they are having any events or jumble sales where you can have a stall.

So many people especially single parents are used to living off everyone else, rent paid, council tax paid, don't pay for presciption, eyetest, dentists, school meals. In order ro replace this God know what salary you would need to earn. For those of us who have worked for years, and are only just keeping their heads above water, we are sick of this moaning, I am severly disabled but carry on working, why should I be supporting somone who has children they can't afford ?

I missed the salient part I think; where did she say her children's father is?!

@mmcpeake8736 5 ай бұрын

Why do everyone ask about the father? Do you realise a father can pay as little as 5 pounds per week to as much as 3 children. The government wants us to go hungry

Childcare is expensive, father's are aloud to pay 5 pounds a week for there children! Single parents don't stand a chance,read into the price of childcare it's ridiculous most people have had to cut there work hours downs .

@@mmcpeake8736 I work in childcare. The Gov pays 9.36 for 15 hours per week free childcare for 2 years old, and 5.49 for 30 hours per week for 3,4 years old for families earning under 200k per year.. What stops these parents to take a 30 hours job a week. Childcare is free for those 30 hours. Yes, some nursery are charging extra, for some expenses but they are not allowed to charge top of the roof. I know many parents that are happy to claim 15 hours as there is no job requirement attached but refuse to go to work to benefit from 30 hours....That`s the reality....Not necessarily the cost. My colleague that works 17 hours per week pays £50 per month on childcare cost. Cheaper than Moldova.
