It is unclear exactly how many could lose access to #disability #benefits under the changes. Jack Smalligan, snr policy fellow at the Urban Institute & a fmr OMB official through 5 admins, wrote in a recent paper that if the proposed rule reduced eligibility for the disability program by 10%, 750k fewer people would receive benefits for all or part of the next decade. In addition, 80k fewer #widows & #children would receive benefits due to loss in eligibility of a spouse or parent.

Sen. Mark Warner: "Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their #healthcare premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy. If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford? This (cost to Americans) is what Democrats are fighting to stop."

How do you know if you are terminally ill? Does the doctor tell you? Yesterday I spent another 3hours filling in forms for benefits for my Dad. He is very ill. He has lung cancer and multiple myeloma. He will never recover but does that mean it’s terminal? I filled in part 2 of PADP claim and suggested they ask the professionals in his life because I can’t get an answer from them. #padp #benefits #keepwarm

“If the Prime Minister had listened on the winter fuel payment cuts [and] #disability #benefits #cuts, which I and others voted against, if he had listened on #Gaza, then we wouldn’t be in this appalling situation in the opinion polls.”

The complexities of #CollectiveBargaining agreements & #CivilService protections, not to mention the real-life impact of eliminating people who provide #benefits to the #public, have stalled past efforts to shrink the government. #Trump has shown no inclination to slow down.

Benefits die mir kein anderer Arbeitgeber bietet: Couch im Büro.

Nachdem das gestern bei #onevisionofqueen in der #saparena etwas steil ging brauche ich ein Regenerierungstag. Heute gibt’s nur Soft-Administration, Mails und viel Kaffee ☕️

In diesem Sinne: ab in die horizontale 🛋️

Edit: Natürlich kommt der Bürohund mit auf die Couch 🐕

Education Unions Call for Removal of Two-Child Benefit Cap to Tackle Poverty

Labour’s 2017 policy was designed to curb spending, but it’s clear now that it’s causing more harm than good. Struggling families need support, not more restrictions, especially when it’s hurting kids the most.

Education Unions Call for Removal of Two-Child Benefit Cap to Tackle Poverty

Sure, the two-child cap might’ve been a policy under Labour, but it’s clear it's doing more harm than good now. Tackling the deficit shouldn't come at the expense of children who already face hardships. The long-term effects on poverty and education are devastating, so it's time to scrap it.

Typical left-wing nonsense. Removing the cap just fuels dependency and will make the deficit worse. Not the answer.

The argument that the two-child benefit cap helps tackle the national deficit fails to acknowledge the severe impact it has on vulnerable children. While introduced under Labour, this policy harms those already struggling, deepening child poverty and hindering education. Removing the cap is a step t...
