Re: Benefit cap goes before the Lords.
I totally agree with Garinda, it may also stop 'single' women having 4,5,6 children just to stay on benefits....i don't think these women that are popping these kids out realise that they will soon have to sign on now when their youngest child reaches 12 months old, if they don't prove they have applied for jobs (mine is currently 10 jobs to be applied for a fortnight) that they will lose all their benefits, including housing benefit and council tax benefit
sorry, not quite the same argument as originally stated but it is a bugbare of mine, yes i've been on benefits for 15 years, i've 'scrounged off the state' and i'm not proud of it....i made sure i only had ONE child, i have always done volunteer work therefore not sitting on my arse reaping the rewards of the state for nothing.
Ok rant over...i need a brew now
