Hey everyone,

I have already posted this on another fourm and Just want to see your views on this on here.

Right first of all I am sorry if this is not in the right forum

We all know that from next year they will be some huge changes from 2013 to benefits and here are a few things that will change:

1) Council Tax - It's been reported that people who are on JSA Will need to pay they tax out of they JSA, How on earth people going to survive regarding this? it's really stupid and I doubt any people will be able to afford food after they paid all the outgoings :mad:

2) Housing Benefit - I read somewhere that people under 25 will get they housing benefit cut, is this true? and also they will need to pay part rent if they got a spare bedroom that they don't use (This doesn't apply to me as I am 26 and I only live in a 1 bedroom flat)

3) Universal Credit - It's going to replace some benefits like: Jobseekers, Income Employment and Support Allowance, Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits and Housing Benefit.

4) Jobseekers - People who don't follow the JCP advicer and don't apply for all the Jobs they givin they could be tougher sanctions even up to 3 years!

I think that is it or have I missed anything?

To be honest I am dredding going into the new year, I can tell you now 2013 Is going to be a bleak and horrible year :(
