Closed Tighter control on Benefits/Income Support

Closed on

Benefits are seen as a lifestyle, it’s disgusting how the government just gives our hard earned tax paying money to unworthy people, even those that have just moved here from another country!

Our money shouldn’t be given to; The work shy, people having kids while on benefits that they clearly cannot afford(a limit to be set), immigrants who come here to claim as they have no life skills/trade knowledge and no potential employability

There should be in place compulsory community work completed by those that claim benefits, 2 Months a year minimum. This will give them valuable life skills it will also make them more employable.
Limits set on having children while on full income support/benefits and how much more you can claim.
Tighter controls in place so immigrants cannot claim when moving to the UK.
Evaluations on those that are on benefits longer than 6 months; do they deserve this money? Are they seeking work? Is it being falsely claimed?
