job seekers allowance 60.50 per week
incapacity benefit Long-term basic rate: £89.80 plus DLA D.L.A Weekly rate Highest rate £70.35 Middle rate £47.10 Lowest rate £18.65 can you see now why people get annoyed that alcholics and drug addicts get so much more money than somone whos paid NI , preppared to work and not sit in a pub or shoot muck into tehir viens? even without the disability living allowance they get £30 a week more than people on job seekers and with high rate allowance get £100 a week more than people on job seekers allowance |

And that is why I think they have abolished incapacity benefit (plus you have quoted long term rates which you had to be on incap for a while before getting) for new claimants...its replacement ESA is at the same rate as JSA for the first 12 weeks whilst you have to go through a medical assessment period plus you have quoted the old rates :D |

Re: Government proposals to stop benefits for Alcoholics & Drug Addicts.
DLA has always been a joke as far as I'm concerned, as I have mentioned before there was the case of Michael who was blind and had no hands(following an accident) who was refused DLA for many years. Ok so he was eventually rewarded it but why/who makes the decisions? They obviously have no idea about living with a disability but they make the decision of what a disability constitutes:confused:
And can I add that the adjudicators are about as clued up as idiots. When we learnt that Ian's mum had terminal cancer the form was filled in by professionals to make things easier but what was sent in return? Just a letter saying "as you have six months or less to live you are entitled to high rate DLA" Who appoints these so called "experts" for these jobs?:confused: |
