I just think it's wrong.

Also, unlike others I never posted about seventeen year olds being claimed for, as it's payable up to that age. Though presumably some councillors will now claim for their children, right up until that child reaches their seventeenth birthday.

An age when many other people will be out working, paying tax etc.
It must be hard looking after a hungry teenager when you're living in abject poverty on expenses of say, oh I don't know, £31k per year plus County Council expenses.

I'm grateful that I'm not a parent of a child in their mid-teens. With all these cuts that are going on I'd be worried about running out of money to pay for the cotton wool.
