The TRUTH about DWP Pip & UC Payments

In this video i am going to highlight the truth about the amount's people receive per month either as a couple or an single person.
The amount of comment's and news media reporting saying that those on Benefits earn thousands a month is simple STUPID.

Watch this video to find out more.

I am over 63. I have worked since leaving school at 16. Always paid tax and NI. I had to give up working due to Arthritis, Spondylitis and Fibromyalgia. I am lucky to be given PIP. I get the standard amount plus the daily living allowance so in total around 400 pounds a month. I don't have a lavish lifestyle as the DWP minister would like people to believe. I will have to wait until I am 67 for my state pension. I never imagined I would have to rely on PIP, and if there were some way of easing my constant pain so that I could work again, I would do it in a heartbeat. No one lives on benefits. They exist. Love your videos by the way.

So much hatred, a single claim of £392 I'm entitled to. I work in retail; sometimes my entitlement is less than £100 a month due to work hours, and yet an advisor tells me time to come off that your receipt of state benefits winds me up to the core, and many MPs claim £400 pounds for sitting weekly in parliament.

I wonder why some people are angry that my top up money to put food on the table, pay bills, and travel to work and study, yet these scumbags want this removed. Yet these people have no empathy. Funny, some of these people are working these positions also claiming child tax credit or UC topups like many people do to survive.

Nice video.

I hate them. People who have never been on benefits themselves think it's a life of luxury.
They think everyone is getting 2k a month, my personal advisor said. Samsung phone S22, your smart phone looks nice. We all know what she means. So many people jump to conclusions. Winds me up.

Rishi walks out on D-day just like he walks out on the mentally unwell vulnerable on DWP

[thetruth-loveitorhateit]

Excellent. As always.

As a disabled man - I say to all those - Please come and eat from my plate. I will share with all those in need . But not those in greed with a silver spoon stuck up their back passages by the msm.

[antonygill]

Well said Richard fact is they have always attacked the vulnerable as they think we are easy prey. ❤ to all except the government

[jennielloyd]

honestly the more I hear what this government and DWP do the more I'm thinking I should run for parliament lol, I'd actually do something the Tories have never done and that is treat someone like they are what they are, a human being

My Friend Thank you so for putting this Right not easy to live with illnesses not knowing if we need heat or food i Understand the good Working People who lose a lot of Tax but i paid my tax when i was able to work but being in pain and sick i would love to have my health back so i could work

[SpeccyMan]

I get ESA in the support group. It doesn't come close to £1000 a month by itself but if I tack on HB and CTB then it just about gets there. £1200 a month. Were my health 100%, I could earn at least 4-5 times that amount with my skillset. I do not get a penny in PIP, despite meeting the criteria. Do the great unwashed really believe it is some kind of lifestyle choice?

I'd give up the 24/7 pain, the constant tiredness, the constant needing the toilet, the constant nausea and the lack of a decent night's sleep in a heartbeat. Sadly, that is a choice I do not have!

On top of that, I (like many of us) also have to endure the vilification of small-minded, ill-informed Daily Mail reading fools. It isn't a choice!

[duckweedy]

There are of course extra costs for people who are long term ill or disabled which is why people with those impairments are given more money. Such as paying for a cleaner, extra heating because of poor circulation. Specialist foods etc etc.

[sue-boo]

Personally and going a bit off point, if this country was not paying out so much to house and give money to illegal immigrants, there would be more money to give to people that have lived here all their lives and are in need of help. I am NOT racist and genuine asylum seekers do need help. It just makes me mad to see people getting everything and those that have any disability being penalised. Most disabilities are not self inflicted. We didnt ask to be physically or mentally disabled. Im lucky in a way that my disability didnt happen till later in life. Rant over! 😊

[scrollingthecomments.]

Have to add I believe those on JSA definitely need nore to live on also those working and having no top up. It's sickening. I feel for those the most, also those on non existent carer's allowance.

Thank you for clarifying ! It's beyond a joke that Stryde didn't know how much!! Blessings to yourself and Cara 🙏🏻

You'll always get the haters and people that judge. Im on the lowest rate benefit due to health issues and still only just have enough to pay bills. I have to pay my full rent and full council tax plus all other bills. I have a girlfriend who works full time and still we dont have any savings and ive been in my overdaft many times as has my girlfriend. I'm trying to fix my health so I can get back to work again. Being on bennefits doesn't make you well off in my case. I've worked and I've paid into the system for years before I had health issues.

[urbanhawk]

I'm on higher rate mobility PIP but I don't see it because I lease a car. I also have the higher living allowance as I am wheelchair bound and do have to have a full time care/ and or a person on standby/call. I also get do get UC. I decided to go and do a uni course somewhere local to me which the govement have stated I can do while claiming. But unlike others I cannot claim any help regarding a maintainance loan as it would slash what I am recieving and I wouldn't be able to pay my bills or eat. I already don't get much and paying out for stuff to do this course nearly leaves me in the red each month. I know it's my choice to do this course but all I wanted to do is try to better myself. The govement said they want more disabled people to go into education or work but unfortunately most of us struggle or can't afford to do so.

[psychowitch]

Here's the truth, as a mixed age couple. I retire in 6 maths. I an crippled with arthritis. We have to live off my husbands single pension including paying the rent. I have applied for the support element but don't have much faith as they wriggle out of everything.

[carlmayne]

Thanks for another informative video, you may get it through the heads of some ... at some point lol .. I get £290 a month on PIP .. No motability, no extras just the £290. That's what I have to run /fix the car and pay for bills and any extra things i need ... I'd love how we're all going to do that with 'therapy' vouchers .. lol, I'm lucky to have maybe £30 left at the end of the month / depending :D --We're living it up for sure! ...

[KidarWolf]

Always nice? Mate, you're more than nice, you're lovely! Thanks for shining a light on the truth of the matter. I think I would like to see a followup on this discussion, that goes into how benefits have not kept up with the rate of inflation, at all, and haven't even seen the small increases those on minimum wage had over the same time period. While 1600 a month at the maximum rate may have worked, just about, 30 years ago, it certainly doesn't now. A quick play with the Bank of England's inflation calculator shows that 1600 in 1994 would be equivalent to 3262 today. Or, if you would like it the other way, the 1600 today is worth about 785 in 1994 money. I have no idea what the maximum payment was 30 years ago, but the quick google I did before commenting shows that it was likely just as low compared to cost of living then as it is today.

If I could go out to work I would!! But unfortunately I can’t 😢. Now about 6 yrs ago I was falsely reported to DWP(of which they found out) and my mobility part was taken off me. I went to a tribunal and coz the chairwoman got his name wrong he was furious! So I dropped on, he called both me and my dr liars for the medication I was on at the time. Bearing in mind he was the white person on the panel. I fell in the room and he called me a fraud which I was upset at. Anyway I’m only on lower rate daily (work it out!)since then and struggle to pay bills. I very rarely eat as can’t afford food. So to those who say we have it given on a plate get your facts before condemning people!!!

[GS-ojtp]

I love the comments. I currently get 342 plus HB, finally got CT sorted after several months. I dont qualify for anything else even after the tests, scans, reports that confirm my health conditions n day to day problems. I honestly never thought that i would be in this position, i wouldnt wish it upon anyone.
