Coronavirus

If you've got over £16k in savings I think it is, you get nothing. Over £6k, would be a reduction of benefit for every £100 or something like that over.

 

Full sick pay is rare these days. It’s seldom a contractual right anymore and at best it’s likely to be at management discretion.

 

Any chance we can find a game for Liverpool to play, over in Wales

 

Ikea mate. 6 x Bjork for less than a oner

 

Well it don't surprise me there is an outbreak in Wales. From some of the stuff I've read on here, Wales makes up it's own rules on social distancing

 

not many in wales would be covered by sick pay anymore...............95.85 is ok mind.................could buy half an oz break it down into ten bags and that will turn into 140......buy an oz for 160 and turn that into 280.

thank fk for the drug trade i say

 

I just thought of who Gavin Williamson reminds me of, so just googled it, and it appears he's already been called that a few times

They are so elitist and out of touch here .
Evoking memories of past glories is what they rely on to control the Sheeple

 

Agree..... They hate being called sheeple by the way......but you are on point.... Yep it's them that vote on a complete load bollox.

 

Taken in by 3 Word slogans

 

I still know quite a few that get it.
I've got a friend who spends weeks a year off .

 

Council doesn’t count mate lol.

 

No it's for a big chemical company!

Tory bashers again talking nonsense. I claimed the dole for the first time, last year. I claimed for just under 4 months and as a single person, I was able to claim just over £1100 each month. I’ve got a mortgage but if I was renting it would have been about £1450 I could have claimed. There’s nothing wrong with that sort of money being out of work. I never had to go to one of these terrible assessments that people talk about with the DWP neither. You simple fill a form in and they write back to you and tell you that you’ve scored enough points and are being awarded money for it. It was easy and not stressful, at all.

If you have money, then you kinda have to hide it

 

Sounds like that is a different type of benefit Saf. Either PIP or LCW (WA). Although that still sounds a lot to me, for someone with a mortgage. Unless you are including Council Tax benefit within that total. Hmmm...or do they pay your mortgage for you under those schemes, which might be why it's bumped it up. Just to clarify, I'm not talking basic Universal Credit here nor any form of Sick Pay, where your mortgage wouldn't get paid, only the interest I believe.

In short what I'm suggesting, you might be getting something that most other people who are told to isolate, wouldn't get.

 

I don’t get anything now, mate. I’ve been working again since the back end of last year.

Not sure how it all works but yeah I got that pip thingy and there was no interview. I was pretty much only awarded it when I was wrapping the claim up. They still pay me that now, think it’s about 350 - 400 a month. I’ve asked them to stop it as I’m making good money again but they won’t because it’s automatic for another couple year or something. It’s stupid, the government are paying out money they don’t need too.

 

Yeah, I did wonder if it was PIP. You will only get stuff like that if doctor(s), consultants, psychiatrists etc confirm your incapacity/incapability, whatever the right word.

No one affected by self isolation will get that if they are working, or if they do, you will be talking very small numbers. It will just be the basic payout, which I think the lads quoted as £95 a week. I was on a tad wind up with them before, trying to hook them on my line, but I failed miserably, mostly because @Tobes came and jumped in with facts and my reverse gear got stuck, so I had to bail out.

 

Yeah @Tobes is a bastard for coming out with facts. He spoils my fun most days
