This is my thread so no horrible arguments please? The people on benefit, lost benefits have now at least a bit of hope that their lives could return to some normality, at least as normal as any disabled person can have..... .......That is what this thread is about! Ken. |

Hey Moderators, some of the "grown ups" on here can`t keep it civil so go ahead pull the plug please.
All I attempted to do was pass on some good news to many deserving people who in my and many others opinion have been ill treated. So, shut it down please. Ken. |

What’s good for the goose etc. And it is a shame that the sensible discussion on renting or buying if you have a disability will not get an airing here if you close the thread - not a big issue - but it does show how some like to stifle debate if the facts of the debate are not to their liking. This a a crucial subject that regardless of some liking it or not - does need airing Last edited by Darcydog; 23rd January 2018 at 10:12.. |

I will leave to the Mod`s
maybe let it run but if the bickering starts it`s up to them. At one time out of work many decades ago, the benefit I got regarding mortgage was that I got the interest paid so that I did not loose my home. I guess that must have changed. Ken. |

The issue here is that few people who have any sort of assets are eligible for these other benefits - so buying a house practically make you ineligible for anything. And if by some quirk of fate you are eligible by way of being on one of the “trigger benefits” - you have to wait 39 weeks before you get any help with the interest payments. It used to be 13 weeks but they changed it. So no possibility of help at all for 9 months - and then you need to be claiming other “trigger” benefits to get even this. And if you look at the criteria you have to fulfil to get those benefits - then anyone with the slightest amount of savings or assets is likely to fail the test. Is it fair? No I don’t think so? Not when large landowners get huge sums by way of FIT for wind farms and solar panels - and Buy to let landlords can get the State to effectively pay them to prevent them making their tenants homeless. It needs a shake up - and surprisingly for me - I actually think Corbyn has the right idea. The timing is certainly right with so many youngsters struggling with high rents. In my day a mortgage cost you more than renting! Now youngsters are told that they cannot afford a mortgage despite evidence that for years they have been paying far more a month in rent!! Barmy.

Clive and Maninder, you really need to let this feud go and stop having digs at each other at any opportunity
