Stopping Benefits

I see and I hope I'm not seeing things that the government has decided to scrap the benefit cuts for certain people.

If your a couple and one of you work and earn £17000 a year, your partner can still claim benefits.

But what will happen if your a single person and claiming benefits, it would be very unfair if they cut single persons benefits

    It's definitely on many of our minds right now. We're having a big discussion about it, which you can read here: Upcoming changes to benefits.

    At the moment, no formal announcements have been made, so no one knows for certain what the changes will be or how they’ll be implemented. However, we're actively campaigning and raising awareness through The Cost of Cuts, and we’d really appreciate your support and signature.

    We understand this is a difficult topic, and many people are finding it challenging. To keep the community a safe space, we're encouraging all discussions on benefit changes to stay in one place. For that reason, we’ll be closing this discussion, but we’d love for you to join the main discussion thread here: Upcoming changes to benefits.
