      hmm… it says give it to everyone then claim it back. Yeah, that worked nicely for Covid fraud didnt it!?

      Coincidentally, don’t we also have more than 3 million pensioners who are millionaires?

      News just in, wealthiest generation is too wealthy to claim benefits.

      My parents who are currently eyeing up their 5th cruise this year will be mad about this I bet

      Okay, good? Means-tested benefit is means-tested. Apparently this is controversial now, but maybe benefits should only be available to the people who actually need them, and not just handed out to the entire population as an electoral bribe.

      Give everyone benefits.

      Tax each benefit at 100% at certain thresholds

      There’s about 13 million pensioners, that’s less than 1 in 3 being told they are too wealthy for a top-up benefit meant to help the poorest people.

      I know a good few pensioners and I’d say at least a third have a higher income than me and I’m worked. I don’t begrudge them a decent standard of living, but they don’t NEED the extra money, and other much poorer people do.

      One of the worst things we do in this country is confusing wealth and income

      You can have a very high income but have no wealth

      This means testing is purely on income, not wealth.

      I remember when Cameron an Osbourne came in and we were about £200 a month worse off from the loss of child benefit and tax credits. WFA is max £25 a month..

      £35k seems fair. £12k definitely wasn’t

      Met the mother of a friend of mine on a coach trip. She lost her husband but has his pension from the navy + his pension from the police + her full NHS pension + state pension. She does not need another £300
