If you all can remember UC was brought in to prevent fraud so why would they need to look into people's private accounts they lied to the public said they wouldn't be doing that when UC came out this is against our human rights it's a utter disgrace .
I think checking benefits claimants bank account is invasion of privacy. Let it start with MPs cos they get government funding for expenses. Let their bank accounts be checked, how they spend the allowances and where. Check their off shore bank accounts and all their side businesses and tax. That way there is transparency for all.

I was on esa and they put me in a 2 year program, didn’t assign me any work, at 1st would call me once a month then once every 3 months then one day I just never got another appointment, they didn’t put no on any training, no qualifications nothing. I chased it up repeatedly. They don’t care about that side of things they just want someone to vilify.
@@Aluminium-Can is it a good job though? I've spent over 30k on tickets for industrial painting/inspection. Worked all over Europe. The job center wanted me to work in sainsbury stacking shelves when I usually pay 40% tax, that was the one and only time ive had the misfortune of dealing with them.They just want the grunt jobs filling nothing more as long as its a min wage dogshit job they can help you out
Just wondering with the weekly checks what day of the week a claimant is innocent before the next weekly check? Is it Saturday Monday what ? Law abiding one week then under scrutiny the next over and over isn't this dehumanisation ? Another question when you are working and back in la la land again do these bank checks stop does your privacy get returned to you how do you know that door is shut again ? Can that door ever be shut again i very much doubt it ? My goodness it was only a few months ago banks were refusing customers and calling the shots the government stepped in for Farage and his ilk now it would seem that the reverse would apply for the peasants they have no right to privacy no right at all.
Can our gov really get away with blatantly infringing on people's human rights? This is not treating people as equal in the eyes of the law, it is selecting a group of people and telling them they have no right to privacy.
Why do you think they wanted out of the EU and now the ECHR? These people live vicariously through their offspring and family legacy so they will do anything to make sure their bloodline continues to have the upper hand.
Meh, under the Tories, disabled people in particular have NO human rights IMO, I'd go as far as to say that according to the far right, us disabled people AREN'T human IMO.
The DWP want all the Brits to work no matter what and how poor the wages are because we can’t expect our guests floating across the channel to not have the full five-star treatment can you 🤔
If it applies to ordinary citizens then it should apply to MPs too! We should be able to know what THEY are spending taxpayers money on. And THEY should lead by example. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. But no, sadly thats not how this country works is it. One rule for us, another for them...
She doesn't listen to anyone's point. She just reacts emotionally and talks over the bloke and the host. It's the old 'I FEEL' i'm right' therefore i am right.
They don't really care about the money, it's about demonising another group, like asylum seekers etc. to deflect from their own incompetence and criminality.
They won't even save money. More money will be spent policing people on benefits than could ever be 'saved' from the tiny minority of fraudsters. It is just another way of scape-goating the least well off for political gain. Shameful.
The estimated saving over 5 years does not justify this invasion of privacy. The way this has been brought in is very suspicious. The ‘consultation’ for this whole bill I did not hear about until too late. The questions were slanted for affirmation. Question: will this lead to pensions being means tested, despite being paid for during our lives?
I hadn’t heard of the consultation either. They are sneaky lying psychopaths. It is another way of depopulating us from society. The elderly, disabled, and those in low said jobs are ‘the useless eaters’ of today. God forbid that the elderly and disabled go into hospital for ‘treatment’ a cocktail of Madazolam and morphine to send us on our way.
It has by means of monitoring people’s social media. The Labour government were no different they targeted disabled people whilst pretending that they cared.
Pensioners have to have so many years of contributions to get a state pension. If they want to live abroad they should do and not have it frozen (in ceratin countries not all). A pensioner living abroad is personal choice., not fraud
Do they think people are stupid. They will withdraw cash each week. Craziest idea the Tories have come up with. Benefits claimants first, everybody at a later date. Central Bank digital currencies. They will come for everybody. How about the self employed who don't declare earning, fiddle the taxes so they pay no tax. I know quite a few who boost they earn £40k and pay no tax.
I’m concerned they will start to control what you can spend Universal Credit on. If they think it’s a waste of money they might say instead of you spending it on cigarettes or alcohol or whatever you want, you have to spend it on what they decide is important. They might say that to do otherwise is fraud. This smacks of social credits.
This is exactly what's coming. More empirical, pontificating, moralising control freaks. I'll people are being treated as suspects and interrogated and bullied. It's all about control.
Because they are off shore. Now we will be able to see if granny has been putting her pension under her mattress as the DWP want powers to search benefit claimants homes with only suspicion and no actual evidence. I am sure that the governments rhetoric will change from ‘protect granny’ to ‘spy on her’ instead. These so called MPs who voted for this are total psychopaths.
'I've not finished' - ! well said that man, too many of these interviewers just can't help themselves by interrupting and talking over people ! so rude ! and whats the point in asking someone's opinion if they wont shut up long enough to let them speak !
Imagine working full time getting UC and still managing to save a bit of money for the rainy day as you can leave under your needs . And than gov coming to you and punish you for daring care about your future.
Just think of the ministers who have been found out for undeclared income and how they have wriggled out of it. Now think of someone who is on child tax credits who might have put a bit of cash in the bank given to them by concerned relatives. Do you think that they would be forgiven because I don’t? The enemy within is not the poor and disabled it is those who ignore our rights and gaslight us at every turn.
Check peoples bank accounts of vulnerable people who can not work due to being severely disabled or having severe mental health issues. Just unbelievably cruel.
How about making life affordable first before accusing people to not wanting to work. Rent and daily living costs are extortionate and it is made so difficult for people to actually get a job and survive.
I can see where they are coming from but why do they check pensioner bank account state pension is not a benefit we have paid into the system for 50 years so why.
I think it's wrong to look at pensioner account if they have paid there stamps for 50yrs what they have they have worked hard for. Looking at people who have never worked or don't want to work or refuse jobs then yes I think that is a good idea. But also your privacy must come first. If they expect certain people are committed fraud or money laundry then yes this as to be stopped
Don’t you see that this is the excuse that they always make. We can’t take an amount of our own money out of the bank now without being questioned what we are spending it on because we might be money laundering. If all don’t stick together on this it will be a free for all for the government of the day. If you pick someone’s pocket you are committing a crime the government are criminal entity intent on picking our bank accounts. This won’tt effect them or their puppet masters it will be us who will own nothing and be happy.
They do it’s called money laundering so they say that’s why you get the third degree if you want to take more than a few hundred quit out of your legitimate account. It’s a scam because those that have cheated the tax payer are the big corporations who have claimed furlough without check and who refuse to pay their workers a proper living wage. Hence we have tax credits instead of decent wages.
The problem is short termist thinking and penny pinching. There should be serious investment in prevention of disease and early identification. The NHS currently is useless at this. GPs are missing the signs of disease, only treating people when they are seriously ill and have obvious disease (cancer , heart disease etc), by then its far too late to rehabilitate and get these people back to work. The government should not be kicking these people when they are down. The NHS relies far too much on cookie cutter testing. They do not thoroughly investigate symptoms, probably due to resources. Which brings you back to the problem of having far too many sick people, with preventable diseases. Money could also be invested into HMRC to go after the people who stole from the COVID schemes. You should be going after rich fraudsters rather than people who are struggling to survive.
They’ve also removed a lot of items from prescriptions so those on the lowest pay might have things like water infections and thrush among other things ignored. They can cause problems going ahead vitamins and minerals( some may have a deficiency caused by a health condition/medication) cysts conjunctivitis infant colic! Hemaroidsspraons, ring worm,prevention of tooth decay. All because they cut the nhs budget for prescriptions. So imagine having multiple health conditions being on medication that may cause some of these and being on tuppance to the point your going with out meals and then being told you need to pay for all of these, people will endup not being treated and pass it on or worse it festering into something worse and impacting hospital waits and meaning that person isn’t able to even consider work for longer this can also affect state of mind which means possibly another person needing to be on long term sick pay. They need to fix the issues not just find people to blame
@@Boo-pv4hnthey want us all on a two tier US style health system where people cannot afford life saving medication such as insulin for diabetics. They demonise the people that they were clapping for during C19 and we are supposed to blame doctors and nurses instead of the psychopaths that walk amongst us.
People that are on the fiddle will surely not be stupid enough to keep their ill gotten gains in the bank anyway. The darker woman seems to want all disabled people constantly scrutinized, we are the ones likely to be on benefits long term.
How do they know that you are not saving for car tax, car insurance, unforeseen bills, food and fuel hikes. Are we all supposed to beg from family and friends? Or maybe we should be going to the DWP for crisis loans. The system is rigged and totally corrupt. The sad thing is that some people will fall for this propaganda and turn on the neighbours. Divide and rule.
imagine i need money but i dont want relaying on the state pension and my brother lending me money to help me.if the government is checking and i have the money that been lending to me.i have the money in the bank for wich i need to repay to him.this is very wrong.
The lesson should be don’t put gifts from family and friends into your bank account. However, there is an even more sinister to the story. The DWP want powers similar to the VAT MAN to enter your property without a warrants and search for any hidden cash or assets. We are truly living in a dystopian nightmare. Although some of us can see that the nightmare is orchestrated by the state we need more and more people to wake up to the facts. Divide and rule is what they are after we must not let them. We are many they are few.
Our bank has been spied on in recent weeks.. my mother passed away 2 years ago.. it’s taken all of that 2 year period since mum passed to get her affairs sorted.. she left my sister and I a very small gift each.. We received what I remember to be family allowance??. We had an email telling us that our so called family allowance account is now closed.. now ok that’s fine.. but when you know that people are breaking into our country on an hourly basis illegally are getting GIVEN everything and that if they wish is for the rest of their lives.. it kind of takes the piss to be honest
If doing nothing wrong there is no worries. I've been struggling to live for many years and I see many families living on only benefits with an amazing life style, holidays, cars, and nice homes. Some thing appears wrong not that I'm stating there fiddling the benifits system so been kept an eye on by big brother is a good idea in my world.
To what extent does this go to? Will people be criticised for buying too much coffees? People can have money in savings but credited in bill accounts such as energy accounts rent accounts and council tax accounts in credit. Will the government check if anyone has their bills accounts in credit, and if so how much would one be allowed to be in credit with their bills? Would this affect universal credit entitlement as the money in credit is not the claimants bank account Plenty of things to think about with this.
I'm disabled unable to work yet still on UC the system is same for out of work and disabled yet circumstance is different. I disagree with monthly bank scrutiny. Yet I'm sure they already do look at your bank.
Lin mei does she live in the real world when she is writing for tory paper the Guardian,she hasnt a clue about reality she also said people who are not working should take part time work 🤦does she think people are going to take a part time job to be worse off who have inflated bills to pay?another student who because she might have a few qualifications thinks she knows what she's talking about but dosent live in the real world.
The thing is that a lot of people need the benefits to top up the low income and high living costs, but those who use it for fraudulent activities and those who do not want to work, should be checked out. We are not there to say what they can spend their money on, we are there to make sure fraud doesn’t happen!
People who game the system will not get caught they are not stupid enough to put extra cash into a bank account in the first place. This is a government agenda to demonise the elderly, sick, and disabled yet again. Once people fall for this propaganda they will see. How docile the rest of society is and expand it further to alll UK citizens…except MPs, corporate Britain, and the 1%. Don’t be fooled by these psychopaths. They have no empathy, and no souls. I include the so called opposition in this too.
A policy obviously written by someone who has never claimed benefits - it is well known that people on the dole who work do it for cash. It doesn't see a bank. Well, I suppose it was a good idea to justify their job.
ONLY after ALL MP's finances are FULLY investigated and appropriate action taken

I was on esa and they put me in a 2 year program, didn’t assign me any work, at 1st would call me once a month then once every 3 months then one day I just never got another appointment, they didn’t put no on any training, no qualifications nothing. I chased it up repeatedly. They don’t care about that side of things they just want someone to vilify.
@@Aluminium-Can is it a good job though? I've spent over 30k on tickets for industrial painting/inspection. Worked all over Europe. The job center wanted me to work in sainsbury stacking shelves when I usually pay 40% tax, that was the one and only time ive had the misfortune of dealing with them.They just want the grunt jobs filling nothing more as long as its a min wage dogshit job they can help you out
Just wondering with the weekly checks what day of the week a claimant is innocent before the next weekly check? Is it Saturday Monday what ? Law abiding one week then under scrutiny the next over and over isn't this dehumanisation ? Another question when you are working and back in la la land again do these bank checks stop does your privacy get returned to you how do you know that door is shut again ? Can that door ever be shut again i very much doubt it ? My goodness it was only a few months ago banks were refusing customers and calling the shots the government stepped in for Farage and his ilk now it would seem that the reverse would apply for the peasants they have no right to privacy no right at all.
I wonder if this same scrutiny will be applied to members of Parliament expencies and tax
Can our gov really get away with blatantly infringing on people's human rights? This is not treating people as equal in the eyes of the law, it is selecting a group of people and telling them they have no right to privacy.
Why do you think they wanted out of the EU and now the ECHR?
These people live vicariously through their offspring and family legacy so they will do anything to make sure their bloodline continues to have the upper hand.
@@jedfra9172I fear for our future both those vying for power aren’t a good fit
Meh, under the Tories, disabled people in particular have NO human rights IMO, I'd go as far as to say that according to the far right, us disabled people AREN'T human IMO.
Will they check MPs bank for fraud
The DWP want all the Brits to work no matter what and how poor the wages are because we can’t expect our guests floating across the channel to not have the full five-star treatment can you 🤔
They are already looking at 70 years as the new pension age🤫
Surely this puts more pressure on the banks to look at every account when there are millions in the country
Take all your money out the bank and pay for everything using cash simple. They will never know what people are spending there money on
That’s why the want the CBDC’s in place. The country needs to wake up and reject this tyranny or be a victim down the line.
If it applies to ordinary citizens then it should apply to MPs too! We should be able to know what THEY are spending taxpayers money on. And THEY should lead by example. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. But no, sadly thats not how this country works is it. One rule for us, another for them...
She doesn't listen to anyone's point. She just reacts emotionally and talks over the bloke and the host. It's the old 'I FEEL' i'm right' therefore i am right.
I don’t think clawing back funds from fraudsters would mean honest people will get more.
hahahahahaha. you think so? oh dear. want to buy some magic beans?
@@kanedNunable I think you may have misunderstood lol
Its for tax cuts
They don't really care about the money, it's about demonising another group, like asylum seekers etc. to deflect from their own incompetence and criminality.
They won't even save money. More money will be spent policing people on benefits than could ever be 'saved' from the tiny minority of fraudsters. It is just another way of scape-goating the least well off for political gain. Shameful.
They should do that to menbers of parliament to see How's taken bribes and backhander to ask questions in the commons.
The estimated saving over 5 years does not justify this invasion of privacy.
The way this has been brought in is very suspicious. The ‘consultation’ for this whole bill I did not hear about until too late. The questions were slanted for affirmation.
Question: will this lead to pensions being means tested, despite being paid for during our lives?
I hadn’t heard of the consultation either. They are sneaky lying psychopaths. It is another way of depopulating us from society. The elderly, disabled, and those in low said jobs are ‘the useless eaters’ of today. God forbid that the elderly and disabled go into hospital for ‘treatment’ a cocktail of Madazolam and morphine to send us on our way.
Increase the wages.
The government said it would save them 3 million per year. Well that's the hotel bill sorted.
I think they have been doing for years, and it's only because of possible leaks on the internet that they are disclosing this info now
It has by means of monitoring people’s social media. The Labour government were no different they targeted disabled people whilst pretending that they cared.
Pensioners have to have so many years of contributions to get a state pension. If they want to live abroad they should do and not have it frozen (in ceratin countries not all). A pensioner living abroad is personal choice., not fraud
I believe pension isn't considered a benefit. You earned your pension.
Do they think people are stupid. They will withdraw cash each week. Craziest idea the Tories have come up with. Benefits claimants first, everybody at a later date. Central Bank digital currencies. They will come for everybody. How about the self employed who don't declare earning, fiddle the taxes so they pay no tax. I know quite a few who boost they earn £40k and pay no tax.
than they will create a new rule to upload the bills paid by cash.
I’m concerned they will start to control what you can spend Universal Credit on. If they think it’s a waste of money they might say instead of you spending it on cigarettes or alcohol or whatever you want, you have to spend it on what they decide is important. They might say that to do otherwise is fraud. This smacks of social credits.
This first, a programmable Central Bank Digital Currency which is on it's way next and then a fully fledged social credit score system.
This is exactly what's coming.
More empirical, pontificating, moralising control freaks.
I'll people are being treated as suspects and interrogated and bullied.
It's all about control.
It is exactly what it is…but they might label it as carbon credits so the virtue signalling elitist can justify praying on the most vulnerable.
It’s definitely going to happen we’re going to have food card system like they do in America
For what its worth about 10 years ago I was on jobseekers for nearly 2 years and my money went on anything but finding a job.
All the richest should be monitored and reported if anything is suspicious
4 or 5 billion is unclaimed. They never tell what you claim for.
look into all MPs finances first, and investigate discrepancies fully.
Why can't we see their off shore accounts
Because they are off shore. Now we will be able to see if granny has been putting her pension under her mattress as the DWP want powers to search benefit claimants homes with only suspicion and no actual evidence. I am sure that the governments rhetoric will change from ‘protect granny’ to ‘spy on her’ instead. These so called MPs who voted for this are total psychopaths.
'I've not finished' - ! well said that man, too many of these interviewers just can't help themselves by interrupting and talking over people ! so rude ! and whats the point in asking someone's opinion if they wont shut up long enough to let them speak !
Imagine working full time getting UC and still managing to save a bit of money for the rainy day as you can leave under your needs . And than gov coming to you and punish you for daring care about your future.
Why not look into mps bank accounts and their foreign money transfers
Please sign the petition on the Parliament website and pass it on
What is the website ?
It will include people claiming tax credits as its all under Universal Credit now.
Can we have the privilege of looking into the wealthy, like MPs etc. bank accounts.
This is what passes for a Guardian journalist these days. Are you seriously saying that this is going to stop at people on benefits?
Police state, everyone then should have their bank accounts to check for fraud. MP and their friends who have obtained money for PPE.
Just think of the ministers who have been found out for undeclared income and how they have wriggled out of it. Now think of someone who is on child tax credits who might have put a bit of cash in the bank given to them by concerned relatives. Do you think that they would be forgiven because I don’t? The enemy within is not the poor and disabled it is those who ignore our rights and gaslight us at every turn.
Check peoples bank accounts of vulnerable people who can not work due to being severely disabled or having severe mental health issues. Just unbelievably cruel.
How about making life affordable first before accusing people to not wanting to work. Rent and daily living costs are extortionate and it is made so difficult for people to actually get a job and survive.
We as tax payers keep a government afloat so if government employees have the same checks then ok 🎉
No I disagree it is not ok…are rights are being eroded day by day…we all deserve privacy in the banking system.
Money from big business that dodges taxes should be going towards people too, but there's no action to ensure this.
A big can of worms has been opened on this one….I’m going to cancel all my direct debits so they don’t catch me out….
I can see where they are coming from but why do they check pensioner bank account state pension is not a benefit we have paid into the system for 50 years so why.
Thats why you should use cash take your benefits out on day it goes in they can't watch what you buy if you get your cash out...
No, what.you should do is object to people being traeated as guilty criminals , by at least sending your objection in writing to your local MP.
Shut.down your bank account and use the payment excepetion service basiccly a voucher sent out in the post u can cash at any post office
Some people in job centre are so rude
As I understand it many are on UC so they will be spying on themselves too.
There was a time when a job was for life. And it still exists in some countries. But not in England anymore.
I think it's wrong to look at pensioner account if they have paid there stamps for 50yrs what they have they have worked hard for. Looking at people who have never worked or don't want to work or refuse jobs then yes I think that is a good idea. But also your privacy must come first. If they expect certain people are committed fraud or money laundry then yes this as to be stopped
Don’t you see that this is the excuse that they always make. We can’t take an amount of our own money out of the bank now without being questioned what we are spending it on because we might be money laundering. If all don’t stick together on this it will be a free for all for the government of the day. If you pick someone’s pocket you are committing a crime the government are criminal entity intent on picking our bank accounts. This won’tt effect them or their puppet masters it will be us who will own nothing and be happy.
And how much is the country losing from taxes not being paid from the MPs having offshore accounts? Claiming grossly increased figures for expenses?
I think fraud should be checking by the Banks not the government banks no what they customers get it's there job to look for any type of fraud.
They do it’s called money laundering so they say that’s why you get the third degree if you want to take more than a few hundred quit out of your legitimate account. It’s a scam because those that have cheated the tax payer are the big corporations who have claimed furlough without check and who refuse to pay their workers a proper living wage. Hence we have tax credits instead of decent wages.
The problem is short termist thinking and penny pinching. There should be serious investment in prevention of disease and early identification. The NHS currently is useless at this. GPs are missing the signs of disease, only treating people when they are seriously ill and have obvious disease (cancer , heart disease etc), by then its far too late to rehabilitate and get these people back to work. The government should not be kicking these people when they are down.
The NHS relies far too much on cookie cutter testing. They do not thoroughly investigate symptoms, probably due to resources. Which brings you back to the problem of having far too many sick people, with preventable diseases.
Money could also be invested into HMRC to go after the people who stole from the COVID schemes. You should be going after rich fraudsters rather than people who are struggling to survive.
They’ve also removed a lot of items from prescriptions so those on the lowest pay might have things like water infections and thrush among other things ignored. They can cause problems going ahead vitamins and minerals( some may have a deficiency caused by a health condition/medication) cysts conjunctivitis infant colic! Hemaroidsspraons, ring worm,prevention of tooth decay. All because they cut the nhs budget for prescriptions. So imagine having multiple health conditions being on medication that may cause some of these and being on tuppance to the point your going with out meals and then being told you need to pay for all of these, people will endup not being treated and pass it on or worse it festering into something worse and impacting hospital waits and meaning that person isn’t able to even consider work for longer this can also affect state of mind which means possibly another person needing to be on long term sick pay. They need to fix the issues not just find people to blame
@@Boo-pv4hnthey want us all on a two tier US style health system where people cannot afford life saving medication such as insulin for diabetics. They demonise the people that they were clapping for during C19 and we are supposed to blame doctors and nurses instead of the psychopaths that walk amongst us.
Great comments
People that are on the fiddle will surely not be stupid enough to keep their ill gotten gains in the bank anyway.
The darker woman seems to want all disabled people constantly scrutinized, we are the ones likely to be on benefits long term.
The guy with the brown jacket on has got his head screwed on. He understands, This Lin Mei is deluded.
Politicians First, you would all be shocked!
People think being on benefits is a gravy train. Maybe in the past it was.
300 quid a month. oh its glorious lol. thats 100 a month less than mps food allowance!
@@kanedNunablea whopping 9£ a day
She got caught off guard when she said "these" She's been looking down on them and feel like she's above the innocent one's struggling.
Distract and divide
Invasion of privacy
You should not judge a fish because it cannot climb a tree.
Pensioners, parents receiving child benefit, disabled. Monthly checks. How r they to know what's appropriate to buy.
How do they know that you are not saving for car tax, car insurance, unforeseen bills, food and fuel hikes. Are we all supposed to beg from family and friends? Or maybe we should be going to the DWP for crisis loans. The system is rigged and totally corrupt. The sad thing is that some people will fall for this propaganda and turn on the neighbours. Divide and rule.
Lin mel🤢🤢🤢vile...
So why aren’t we checking MPs
imagine i need money but i dont want relaying on the state pension and my brother lending me money to help me.if the government is checking and i have the money that been lending to me.i have the money in the bank for wich i need to repay to him.this is very wrong.
The lesson should be don’t put gifts from family and friends into your bank account. However, there is an even more sinister to the story. The DWP want powers similar to the VAT MAN to enter your property without a warrants and search for any hidden cash or assets. We are truly living in a dystopian nightmare. Although some of us can see that the nightmare is orchestrated by the state we need more and more people to wake up to the facts. Divide and rule is what they are after we must not let them. We are many they are few.
Welcome to soviet Britain.
Our bank has been spied on in recent weeks.. my mother passed away 2 years ago.. it’s taken all of that 2 year period since mum passed to get her affairs sorted.. she left my sister and I a very small gift each.. We received what I remember to be family allowance??. We had an email telling us that our so called family allowance account is now closed.. now ok that’s fine.. but when you know that people are breaking into our country on an hourly basis illegally are getting GIVEN everything and that if they wish is for the rest of their lives.. it kind of takes the piss to be honest
If doing nothing wrong there is no worries. I've been struggling to live for many years and I see many families living on only benefits with an amazing life style, holidays, cars, and nice homes. Some thing appears wrong not that I'm stating there fiddling the benifits system so been kept an eye on by big brother is a good idea in my world.
To what extent does this go to? Will people be criticised for buying too much coffees?
People can have money in savings but credited in bill accounts such as energy accounts rent accounts and council tax accounts in credit.
Will the government check if anyone has their bills accounts in credit, and if so how much would one be allowed to be in credit with their bills?
Would this affect universal credit entitlement as the money in credit is not the claimants bank account
Plenty of things to think about with this.
I'm disabled unable to work yet still on UC the system is same for out of work and disabled yet circumstance is different. I disagree with monthly bank scrutiny. Yet I'm sure they already do look at your bank.
Lin mei does she live in the real world when she is writing for tory paper the Guardian,she hasnt a clue about reality she also said people who are not working should take part time work 🤦does she think people are going to take a part time job to be worse off who have inflated bills to pay?another student who because she might have a few qualifications thinks she knows what she's talking about but dosent live in the real world.
The thing is that a lot of people need the benefits to top up the low income and high living costs, but those who use it for fraudulent activities and those who do not want to work, should be checked out. We are not there to say what they can spend their money on, we are there to make sure fraud doesn’t happen!
People who game the system will not get caught they are not stupid enough to put extra cash into a bank account in the first place. This is a government agenda to demonise the elderly, sick, and disabled yet again. Once people fall for this propaganda they will see. How docile the rest of society is and expand it further to alll UK citizens…except MPs, corporate Britain, and the 1%. Don’t be fooled by these psychopaths. They have no empathy, and no souls. I include the so called opposition in this too.
God Bless You Our Good Brother Ken Amen xxxxxxx XXXXXXX And God Bless Your Earthly Life Time And Earthly Family Amen xxxxxxx XXXXXXX
They want check there own banks A HOLES
It needs to be rectified by doing this but only because the DWP is totally incompetent.
A policy obviously written by someone who has never claimed benefits - it is well known that people on the dole who work do it for cash. It doesn't see a bank. Well, I suppose it was a good idea to justify their job.
My sentiments exactly.
