The point is when you get used to something you begin to rely on it. People managed before universal child benefit was introduced but if that was to be cut then many people would be screwed/up in arms.

I think an awful lot of people will struggle if they are suddenly cut, people at the low income and lower end of the middle incomes..

Alot of people won't be able to afford childcare etc. i also worry that they will cut it for lone parents who are working 16 hours a week and make them work full time.

Also, they are going against their manifestos (Lib Dem and Cons) if they suddenly scrap it.

haha never

I am worried about people on incapacity though, I have a relative with serious mental health problems who has never done paid work. However, he has done massive amounts of work for charity. he is just not reliable enough for paid work.
