what about disablity allowance for children /carers this is disgracefull mps need to help with cuts by taking the minnimum wage

It's about time people realised that benefits are not a right. It's not theres to be taken away, it's a benefit. Some of these people have been claiming benefits for years and years, if we are in this together let's be in this together. I have'nt had a pay rise in 2 yr's, so why should people get benefits....................

if people carnt work due to disablity then what do these people live on ???

Thats all the drug dealers going out of business then

Rachel is right, there are people who are on benefits through no fault of their own that can't actually work, taking away things like disability living allowance means these people can't afford to do the basic things that everyone else takes for granted. The DLA is there to ensure that those who are disabled can have the same standard of life as everyone else.

If people are genuinely unable to work, then they are the people this system was set up to help and no-one begrudges them that. Unfortunately, so many people have abused the system, claiming benefits due to chronic idleness, that it spoils it for the genuine claimants. I just hope there is a fair and realistic way of differentiating between the two types of claimant.

£15 million spent in town? More like spent on dodgy cigs, cheap nasty ale and crap from pound shop. I'm sure the REAL people who need benefits will still get what they deserve - the other scroungers will av to do what everyone else does - work for a living

i cant work im 41 had 2 heart attacks im not over weight suffer ith slow heart rate doctors are baffled why im having heart attacks due to my heart being ok apart from a leaky heart valve i had1 medical 12 months ago failed it appealed and won 8 weeks later ad another medical failed it again they say im fit for work ok i have angina everyday have blackouts at least 3 times aweek due to slow heart rate ive appealed again have hearing soon the system stinks if i was a smackhead or a drinker theyd pass me unfit for work like they did recently to some1 i know ive worked all my life even after having 3 kids about time the system was changed and drinkers and druggied made to work frigging fuming aint the word i tell u i ont get nothing so why do others that have a drug or alchohol problem ?

£15,000,000.00 in cuts, that must be all of them off disability benefits

i am on income support because i cant work  i been on it for a long time  as when i first got put on to incapacity i was working full time. due to circumstances i got a severe bout of depression with a new diagnosis being given to me now of borderline personality disorder.

its a mental issue for 1 person i know cos they convinced themselves they are disabled when they are not.. they are just idle and thinks they have the right to claim poppycock get a job i hope they stop the benefit for these people that are pulling the wool over the drs eyes like the one i know

These changes are being forced on the wrong people like the mental health patients who physically are fit but mentally are not. These mentally ill patients are being forced back to work when they are not able to cope, this is going to increase suicide rates, self harm rates which means more work for the NHS and husbands/wifes will die and mums & dads will die, children will die leaving behind loved ones because of suicide.  More people will have a criminal recored as a lot of mental health patients can not control their temper and will end up being violent (NHS dont section violent mental health patiants only patients who self harm police have to deal with patients).  The mentally ill often want to work but are unable they go back to  work then end up having a mental breakdown. 

like the people who i know who claim because they cant walk but can manage to walk round town shopping nearly every day. These people deserve to have their money stopped only real people with disabilities should get it.

WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS THEN my daughter was desperate for a job she tried but no luck cos the wasnt any she did a month FREE no wages while foreigners who now live in this country were on the payroll .where are all jobs and shouldnt english ppl be priority ?????????????????????????????????????????????

Join the protests against the cuts in Manchester next sunday - These cuts will effect only th epoorest & most vulnerable in our society  - Cameron and  the rest of his Eton millionare friends dont live in the real world and dont care what immpact these cuts will have on people....Manchester nest Sunday - March For the Alternatives...

think ill be going lol

there are no jobs i'm a mother of two boys 1 being 14yrs the other 11month i'm  highly qualified and experienced in my line of work but can't get a job. The jobcentre has been trying to get me back to work since my little 1 was 3 months. It isn't as tho i haven't worked i have i'm 37 and worked and put money in to this country since i was 16. Its a disgrace council cutbacks what they do is penalise children first by not letting them go swimming for free now the disabled. The system is wrong if you are a registered alcoholic or drug user you are entitled to extra money if you are foreign you don't have to work so if you are a kosovan alcoholic smackhead everyday is giro day 

is able  to work.....if its from home.....where are those jobs?....:(.....hard to find also......i,m an agrophobia sufferer and its an ongoing battle....but never mind huh?...people worse than me......enuff said...

its ok saying they have to work i agree they should reform benefits like getting people off the dole but first they should have jobs there in the first place send all the east europians back to there own country,s this would open up the job market a little .they are not wanted not needed we need to look after our own people a little more if this means to come out of the europian union then so be it .....

Those people who claim DLA and know they are claiming it when they should not, should be ashamed of themselves!!

Those people who blame foreigners for taking all the jobs wake up, same old rubbish blaming someone else, come up with another one.

Give the benefits to the needy not the scroungers who can not be arsed to get out of bed. You know who you are!!!

i suggest you wake up and look around in every factory every work place in the uk has a big east europian input of workers i,m not suggesting they are to blame and yes we have scroungers and we need to deal with that problem ive worked for 35 years ive children that want work but are finding it difficult we should look after our own people first polish workers have more rights than british workers at the moment this would happen anywhere else if this sounds racist sorry its not

And in the meantime HMRC continue to waste hundreds of millions, if not billions of pounds, by wiping out old claims, also by one department paying back tax, whilst the person who has got the tax back, owes tax money to another department.
     If the government really wants to be seen as doing what is right, then surely this mess at the HMRC has got to be sorted out ? totally stupid ||||

Genuine Disability = Benefit paid.

Fake Disability = Benefit stopped.

Work shy/Scroungers = Benefit stopped.

the tories are the scroungers and the real enemy, they want to ruin the lives of many in order to line the pockets of few, they tell us that we're all in it together whilst letting their rich banker mates pay themselves 9 million pound bonuses, when David Cameron has never worked in his life but is still a millionaire, he raises tuition fee's and tells students they need to pay for their education out of their own pockets when mummy and daddy paid for him to go to eton and cambridge, this is class war we need the working class to rise up  

that a bit stiff to think that all the goverment r claiming for hen huts n shit, whos side r u on.......... hitlers......

The people of South Yorkshire have been spoon fed by Labour for far too long.  You have been "Domesticated" into believing that you no longer have to look after yourselves, and truly believe that someone else is responsible for you. Wake up people of South Yorkshire, the reason the area is poor and dilapidated is YOU. Stop voting to be spoon fed by Labour - be responsible for yourself, your family and your town - it all starts by getting rid of the REDS!

How do you know a socialist is lying? - Their mouth is open!

Same old 'Divide and Rule'  tricks from the Tories & their Lib Dem allies turning ordinary working, and genuine non-working people against each other whilst they carry on plundering the public purse and helping their banker mates rape the economy.  The sad thing is that labour are no better as we've seen lately with ex-Barnsley MP Eric Illsley who couldn't manage on £200,000 a year and had to fiddle more of our money along with hundreds of other thieving MPs, Lords and other politicians.
They'll keep on kicking the poor when we're down but one day it will be our turn to do the kicking and they'll know about it.  Meanwhile we all need to wise up and realise just who the real scroungers are in our town and in society as a whole.

How else do you get power to fix the problems when most of the population think that living should be free and devoid or responsibility AKA THICK?
Genuine working, surely you don't mean plastic jobs (Public Sector), ie an overall cost to the economy, you must mean those that actually contribute through a real job.

We need a public sector, but you must remember that each job is a net loss (An expense to the country!).
We all need to understand that plastic jobs DO NOT contribute to the economy.
What public purse, the socialists blew it on keeping the plastic jobs going.
The simple truth is that our world is ending, and the big players are jumping ship and taking whatever they can with them - they want to be big players in the new world, and we will put them there.
What can we do? ....... Move to China!
Who's to blame....Look back, where did our industry and real businesses go, and which organisations forced them to move - could it have been the UNIONS by chance - and who are the unions? LABOUR.

Lets just hope the Government are sincere when they say they want to re-build our industrial economy.  The starting point is simple, dump the minimum wage, and most of the employment law!
Oh, and stop blaming the banks. It's human nature to be greedy, (that's why socialism is a failure). If a child gets too fat, who's to blame, the parent or the child.
The banks were allowed to be greedy by us, yes, you and me. Always wanting a bigger house or a new TV or the next phone borrow borrow borrow.
Personal debt and greed caused most of this, and who was the parent that allowed, nay forced the kids to over fill their faces - LABOUR.
