2021 Budget

It's the budget on Wednesday, what do you think he will do? what would you like him to do? How could he help disabled people more?
I think he will extend the extra £20 per week for UC.
I would like him to add ESA claimants to the £20 a week.
As for helping disabled people more I'm not sure we will be on his list of things to do, but you never know.

I tend to agree dont think there will even be a mention of disability benefits
I'm not too sure they will even keep the UC uplift and think it was there to try and get people over to UC rather than esa -
I don't think disability will get a look in even with the campaigning that people have been doing we can all but help
I will be surprised if they keep the extra 20.00 on uc there will be the normal rise as we have every year
I hope they remember the employed people and the people who have worked through the pandemic risking their own lives sll wages should be brought up to living wage
We will have to see whst happens -
Every time someone mentions the “extra £20”, I’m not sure if we even get it.. I suppose not, since we’re both on PIP, UC and CA...All you need is L❤️VE ..and oxygen ?

I can't see anything positive coming out of the budget. We're now in billions of pounds more debt because of Covid. Taxes will have to be raised and cuts will have to be made to pay that back.

Ive just been watchibg Rishi Sunak on the politics show and it does seem possitive, every thing he was saying, we will soon find out.
-
@Sandy_123 do you think they will take the extra 20 .00 off uc or leave it on there
-
@lisathomas50 I'm hoping he does, the papers think he will, but we won't know till we see him holding that red case and making announcements

Hi@Crumbled72.
Just wanted to say it’s nice to see you back. ? -
ITV seem to be reporting the £20 uplift will stay for a further 6 months but again it’s all speculation really.
-
I supise realy it doesn't matter when we still got to get used not haveing it and it will be hard it doesn't seem alot but it is in the bigger picture

Couple of points Boris has said a number of times this week that he will not see a return to austerity, I suspect capital gains tax will increase, and the big surprise might be a new tax on online shopping (not food but amazon etc).
But as ever time will tell.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
