I'm glad I didnt claim it as it needs to be paid back.

Its a grant. You don't pay grants back, only the tax and N.I. due on them. You need to give your head a wobble.

We’re all doomed from this point on so take the money and run 

[G Griffin]

I still don't think we'll get the grant  .

Don’t say that Griff , everybody has already spent it !
Rishi said he would get the economy moving again

What makes you draw that conclusion?

Just a joke. Slash made a joke about having to pay it back so I joined in.
We had weeks of people doubting we'd get it and worried about paying it back and I was joking about that.
Mine's gone through anyway, I think.

Brinks are delivering mine . In a Transit apparently.

I've claimed my grant, but my son has only lost  2 hundred pounds ish over the last 2 months, should he make a claim?

If I only had lost £200 then I personally would feel immoral taking thousands!

But if you look on the flip side , just because he might not take the grant his taxes will still go up as they will for all of us when this is over , take it and use it to cover the tax hike

[Slacky]

He may have only lost £200.00 so far, but how much will that be by the end of the year.

Unemployment rose by 70% today.

The latest ONS data shows that the claimant count climbed by 856,500 to 2.1m between March and April.

[jk999]

Unemployed only rose 70 percent because of the people who  cant work because of the virus biggest percentage of those will eventually return back to work meaning they wont be on UNEMPLOYMENT

[Slacky]

Those figures don't include those on furlough, I don't think.

[jk999]

Its who ever is having to claim the benefit s like self employed hair dressers and plumbers and joiners ect

His losses of £200 are only over a 2 month period so presumably there will be more losses in the upcoming months.
How could you possibly  know he would be claiming thousands? The amount he can claim is calculated on his declared profits.

[Ooooooog]

You’re all on benefits!

[Slacky]

Yes we are. lol never thought of it like that. The last time that happened for me I was claiming the dole, for three weeks, back in 1984.

Power has only one duty- to secure the social welfare of the people.
