My Aunt was medically discharged from work and the CAB told her what to claim in regard to benefits,she filled in the proper forms from the DHSS but because she declared what she had in savings was then turned down and told to live off the savings she had.There is also a few rich people where I live and the wives of these gents are seen in the post office every monday and tuesday drawing out their money with the rest of the village claimants on benefits and using the same post office cards,my one question to osbourne and his pirate crew is if you can hit the benefits of the needy why are the so called rich left well alone and can claim what they like even with the money what they have,so if I win the lottery then can I draw benefits and join the boys in blue rich club as all the other rich ba--ards are already there and claiming for child tax and working tax and they even have the balls to boast about it.

Benefits should not be increased if wages arnt. I am on benefits now due to illness but I still do not agree with them going up. Its about time all wages went up by at least the rate of inflation every year. When I was working I did not get a pay rise for over 3years yet benefits went up by 5% last year alone - that is not fair.

43% disagree with the chancellors decision, 49% agree. If you assume that the other 8% are indifferent, then it's clear that most people support the proposals. Obviously, those on benefit will not!

My sister is on benefit after suffering two brain haemorrages one at 13 and one at 21 she is partially paralysed and has very little memory and due to being on benefit very little money. She is now 47 and deserves every single benefit she gets. She cannot afford the luxury of the internet and would not have the brain capacity or dexterity to use it and I am sure there are a lot of people inher position. What the government are doing is disgusting all they care about are the rich and wealthy. Sadly the disabled are an easy target for them and it should never be allowed. My sister has been made to feel like a third rate citizen through no fault of her own, she didnt ask to be disabled at 13 ane certainly is no benefit scrounger

It is interesting that this has been on AOL virtually all day, claiming that the public are divided on these issues YET there are only 23 comments.
Obviously the public( whoever they are) dont actually give a damn.
I believe that the only division is between those who work, pay tax and NI (who are for the proposals) with the exception of Labour and LibDem Politicians who dont want their Benefit dependent Voters to turn against them and the people who receive Benefits, which thanks to Labour is a VERY large percentage of the population.
CLIENT DEPENDENT???
Whoever thought making DSS claimants (or indeed Taxpayers) into Clients was a sensible thing, they are not; the one lot are parasites and the others the host, NEITHER are clients.

Our country and many more in Europe are now going through a transition from being a major producer and exporter in the world to a minor player competing with country s in the east with much lower labour cost than we can compete with.Add the high cost of oil that we have to import and the debasement of the £ through QE that increases the cost of all essentials we import like food/gas/.To make matters even worse our banks are now bust and are being supported by the BOE with more money printing that will continue until the world economy no longer has confidence with our country as an stable economy.That is when the SHTF and we are f....ed,so until then count your blessings.2008 was just a warm up for what is really to come some time not too far from now

The 43% who disagreed with limiting the benefit increase did so as they're probably all on benefits such is the scope, range and availability of the benefits-to-all-and-sundry system created by Labour!

When we had children,1970s tax relief was given for marraige and the 2nd child, my wife stopped work until our 2nd child started school,I worked to keep them , sometimes putting in 14 or 15 hour days.having now retired after 50years as a carpenter ,never out of work, I am still being clobbered for hundreds of £ a month on my pensions that I was sensible enough to provide myself with.I am pissed off with paying for the useless and unemployable riff raff that infest this country.As far as I am concerned this underclass can do everyone a favour and curl up and die.If you cant afford kids dont have them.As for criminals they should be hanged,this would be cost effective.By the way we live in our own house in a very nice area of surrey,the county in whitch I was born .N.B. The lefties and dogooders[curse of the country] may be as rude as they like about my comment ,50 years in the buildings I have heard it all ,dont give a stuff.

Of the 49% who agree with this decision, how many would agree to banning buy to let mortgages; a stupid idea that was bound to increase rents and therefore increase the benefits bill.
