I am a sole trader on tax credits, I retire June 25th 2024 my question is my present tax credits run April 2023 to April 2024, but as I say retire June 25th can I stay as a self-employed sole trader and keep receiving tax credits/ u/c. what do I need to do, any info would be much appreciated.
Had to finish work on ill health was put esa until health assessment 77 pounds a week after assessment I get 259 every 2 week then on 19th universal credit and limited capability I should receive but the the esa is deducted from it which leaves 197 on 19th so giving me with one hand and then taking it off me can't afford my mortgage and bills
Whoever thought of "Universal Credit" deserves a medal as this is much better than job seekers allowance! When i was on job seekers when i was 18, i only got a petty £75 fortnightly. where as an 18 year old nowadays on Universal Credit" would get roughly £300 fortnightly? what a difference! Had i ben on universal credit when i was 18 - 21, i would not only have not been evicted from my home but also would have been enjoying life a lot more than i did back then! my life was so depressing when i was 18 - 21 due to the government and what they deemed a single person needed to live on!
The government has always been wrong with their rule "if you want to make a claim for benefits, you need to be available for and actively seeking employment". Not to mention their old rule that if you fail to attend signing and/or have been signing on for a certain amount of weeks, then you'll have your benefit stopped! Or just be sent on another dead-end course! Not to mention, if you didnt except a job which you could clearly do, then, agaain, you'd have your benefit stopped! I created "Unity" on facebook a few years back with my public posts regarding the government and all their wrong doings. and what do ya know, they Introduced "Universal Credit" without the need to sign on. Im now 44 but was unfairly evicted from my home when i was 21 all because of the "governments Rules". i .e I use to forget to sign on quite a lot (i have a bad memory) and this would often create a gap in my claim and in turn a gab in my housing benefit. Dont get my wrong, i did have rent arrears but these arrears would be magnified by my benefit often being stopped. I had lived at my home with my mum since i was 4. my mum died when i was 15 (before i left school) and a few years later i was evicted for failure to pay rent that i shouldnt have even been paying as i was in receipt of benefits. i will never forgive the government for my losing my flat. After all, i was on roughly £75 every 2 weeks and was expected to pay roughly £10 rent. then water rates and gas and leccy and food!!! i could barely afford to smoke roll ups! All because of the governments Rule of what ages they deem you need to "live on" I'm from the UK and if other countries are benefiting from this "Universal Credit", then this is yet another example of the government still needing to learn a thing or two. They need to "look after their own" before they start helping support other countries! I'm now on much better money, still on benefits but better money... No doubt due to my age! i STILL cant believe that when i was 17 - 21 i was ONLY on £75 fortnight! no one can live on that!!! As for employment, it should be a choice! no one should have to work and we certainly shouldn't have our benefit stopped for not looking for work! we have a right to be "PROTECTED" by our government which is the point of the benefit system. some say the benefit system shouldnt be seen as an income but an "allowance" whilst on benefit until you find employment. We shouldn't have to work, its a choice! These job centres have signs up saying "helping you back to work" but they aren't helping people back to work if they still have stupid rules like the past! The best thing the government did was abolish "signing on". Because, i ALWAYS knew even when i was 17-21 that the government expecting us to sign on in order to receive benefits was nothing more than a "control thing". i always knew that we didn't even need to sign on in order to receive our benefits! they could post it automatically!. i use get a giro every fortnight. They aren't helping us back to work at all, they were forcing us to seek employment with the use of the "job search record" they would give us when we first made a claim! I researched tonight how much benefit i would be entitled to if i was 18 nowadays, and i was surprised to learn that it was just under £300 monthly! i wish i had been on £300 when i was 18! I only got £75 fortnightly (£150 monthly). Had i been on £300 monthly, i wouldnt have been evicted from home when i was 21! i lost everything! as all my belongings ended up in an empty dusty car garage because i had nowhere to put it! and if it wasnt for my sister who lived 2 bus rides away, i would have ended up on the street all because the government deemed i need to live on back then was £75 fortnightly plus i had bills to pay etc! I wanted to be a Counsellor from the age of 17 and wanted to work from home. I wanted to work! BUT, the only reason i didnt enrol on a course was due to my current at the time financial situation which made my life so depressing! At the age of 22 i was introduced to Pc's (computers) and later learnt what a webcam was and how to use it. what more, i learnt of "chatrooms" and instantly wanted to host my own webcam chatroom on my own website. But dont want to do a course as have done my fair share of I.T courses and just want to pay someone to build my website so i can work from home. I am currently on benefits and dont have to work but i want to work from home but need someone with the knowledge / know-how to build a website for me. Had i been on £300 monthly when i was 18 - 21, i'd have been more willing to enrol on a course to help get myself into a job i wanted! I currently live in Birmingham but come from Hayes, middlesex and would LOVE to move back to Hayes! P.S This is a prime example of the government being (was) the problem, NOT the unemployed! a guy having his money stopped for 6 months due to it being deemed that he hadn't done enough to look for work! << OMG what was he ment to live on for the next 6 months?! This is where A LOT of my rent arrears come from over a period of 4/5 years when i was 18 - 21 and semi often forgot to sign on (I had/have a very poor memory) or lost my benefit for whatever reason and in turn was evicted from my home ws i ws 21 and LOT EVERYTHING! as all my belongings were just shuved into storage! I still can't believe the 50p gas and electric meters were replaced with the con key and card! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have to work but i want to. but need to find someone who can build websites. as i want my own videochat room on my own website, as i want to work from home. I've wanted my own website about 2007! I don't just want A wesbite, i want a video chatroom where i can make money talking to people from all walks of life about their problems or whatever they want to talk about etc. I'd LOVE to know a secret millionaire who knew how to build websites as i'd pay him/her to build mine. i have all the website specs written out at the ready. But no idea how to actually build a website especially a video chat room website. I really can't wait to get started but have no one to help and i bet if you approached my local job centre, they'd try to send me on a web design course! which i do NOT want. I want to pay someone to build it for me. More to the point, if i approached my local job centre and told them about my wanting to work from home on my own website, whats the betting, they'd say... JC's: "We dont have any help for that" << they are meant to be there for help people who WANT to WORK!
Not liking the Work Capability Assessment form, you need 15 points to get awarded, and its worded unfairly like "can you use either arm to reach above your head" well yeh, i can, but thats totally avoiding the point that i cant use "reach" with my other arm, all the questions are like that, its total bs.
It is designed to push u out and deducted everything off u Bullying u and yelling out at security guards and attacking u and give u criminal charges against u
I have had my child tax credits stopped because i got a migration notice and had no choice but to apply, the child tax credits which are for my nephews now they will go without the things they need, what has universal credit got to do with child tax credits and forcing people to go to work in my situation i live with my mum who has mouth cancer and needs my help for phonecalls or making appointments picking up medication ect and recently she had a biopsy that she has cancer in her cheek even though i have made it clear that i am not looking for work and not ready they still say that i am its not right or fair when i have to be there to support my mother through this difficult time, they just dont care and talk over you about your next appointment. I will be taking this further.
45 years full national insurance and the DWP gave me nothing nothing..so when I need my money my money and you don't give it me when I need it..give me ALL MY NATIONAL INSURANCE BACK. £350,000.. YOU CANNOT GET UNIVERSAL CREDIT YOU CANNOT GET SICK PAY YOU CANNOT GET ANY MONEY..AND NO ONE TO HELP..HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD..MAYBE THERSA COFFEY WHO IMPLEMENTED ALL THIS CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS..she's done a typical Thatcher.. slit our throats and got a better paid job.
Clearly the old system was better if they cant even correctly give you what your entitled too, how can these people be trusted to help people find work when they cant do their own job properly
Dwp are awful, how can you owe back tax credits you have been entitled to and why do they only pull that stunt when switching to UC! Sick incompetent government agents
I was put on UC as a full time carer in 2018. I had rent arrears of £150 so my housing costs were paid direct from the start . 6 months later I had rent arrears of £6,000 ! I have paid of £2,000 for rent arrears via deductions . I have been living on £90 a week to run house and my costs as a carer . I have been food banks as well . I get battered with arrears from so called previous arrears I had no idea about . In 5 years I have paid £6,000 in total of arrears combined . I cannot survive and very stressed I cannot give up caring role as the person I care for will become extremely poorly
Some councils offer a discretionary housing payment to help with housing costs though its not a large amount. You could also look into hardship payment from UC
@@DillyHughesxXx thank you thing is , I actually did not owe it in the first place . I had an alternative payment arrangement in place from the start . There is also 3 payments missing No one can or will help :(
@Dinadino994 hoping by now you've received help with this? I found the cab really helpful a year or so ago, they disagree with this whole set up & were lobying for it to change
the uk government is legally bound by law , under the human rights act to protect the welfare of its citizens, with this in mind how can they legally impose sanctions upon people leaving them with no means to feed themselves, every uk citizen is entitled to this right from the day they are born in this country, so how can they make demands on you to get universal credit, they have to look out for your wellbeing by law, you are not bound by law to do anything to get Universal credit, so how can they tell you , you have to attend a mandatory meeting , and if you dont stop your only form of income
Too right, I have another job lined up, waiting on a DBS, had to jobsearch with the new rules 1st interview got offered the job, this will mess with my current job, cant accept anymore job offers, so may have to leave but either way if turned down the job or any other offered or decide to leave my current one for the new one I'll be at risk of a sanction, it's just a trap to screw you over
I want too but I had to claim because I’m a fulltime carers for my autistic brother I’m been 😂😂migrating and forced to b on uc and get £££38.00PCM I call ☎️ uc and pip but they don’t pick up the phone but ai 🤖 machine And then get staffs to talking on the phone ☎️ and the staffs cut ✂️ off the phone as talking to me
I'm finding I'm better off on pip and universal credit rent gets paid can you help me figure it out I would like to get advice I'm free from council tax the trouble I like to work it's brain dead working it out can you help the job center are terrible they don't know what they are doing
When you go to the job center look the part say nothing salute and obey them at interviews say nothing at tall you have been told to come via the job center
I get pip and universal credit together does it pay me to work will I be better off at fiffty three the job center does not have a clue they are badly advised at job centers they only allowed to tick boxes
Suppose me and wife have under 16k savings together - what is classed as low income per month. ? I'm self employed and wife works part time. do we qualify. I earn around 4k a month. do I qualify?
Why should you get anything with savings of that magnitude...people are struggling with no savings and have to rely on the pittance whilst you claim what you don't need to...I suppose you had the full benefit of furlough as well...pay it back
Your very lucky to receive benefits on 4k per month. How did you manage to secure UC? I know a few individuals on 1500 with children and are not eligible for UC.
There is work but the governments hired people to rob shops and businesses and then the business claims bankruptcy &shutdown We all have to claimed to Pimp survive hunger games
I agree, welfare should be stopped, forcing people to make good life choices. Completely agree. Why should i work 80 hours a week so lazy bums can sit inside in their PJS all day.
Nobody should do eighty hours a week but they make so easy for people on benefit and employers don't want to employ them does it pay people to go to work
