Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.

And I bet that every single one of these people with, for example, disabled children would give up their benefits and swap places with you like a shot.

When Invalid Care Allowance was introduced, it was not possible to claim it for one's partner or after retirement age. Over the years, this was changed.

Have you ever considered the fact that if these people stopped caring for these people for £61.35 a week, that it would cost the taxpayer much, much more?

Local Authorities and the NHS would not be able to cope.

Most benefits are taxable. The reasons why DLA/PIP have never been taxed since their introduction by successive Governments is explained in the post.
