Petition No new means tested benefit laws
More details
This and the previous government continue to reduce benefits based on income, for example child benefit, a person earning £100,000 pa pays around £670 per WEEK in tax, why should they not have £20 back per child. These people are contributing £35,000 per YEAR in INCOME TAX AND NI alone, before they are being taxed on everything else. They should be entitled to all the benefits including free bus passes and taxis if they want them and winter fuel payments too, give them some money back!
