| Comment | The system works fine if you can budget and handle your money. The failing of the system is that addicts are being handed their rent money upfront instead of that money being paid directly to the landlords.
Give an addict a wad of cash and what do you think is going to happen? Junkies gonna junkie, gamblers gonna gamble and thrifters gonna spend.
It only takes a single missed payment before debt starts to spiral.
Everyone had the foresight to see those results coming except the Tory DWP.
So, if you are generally good with money and will pay your important bills off before spending on non essentials, and can budget the disposable portion effectively then you will be fine on UC. Well, you'll probably always feel skint, but you shouldn't end up homeless. Unless your partner has a terrible bingo habit or something? |
