[QUOTE="womble8350, post: 7612291, member: 2535"] I employ a lad just coming up to 30. He has a long term girl friend and a 2 year old and another on the way. He is paid a fair bit over minimum wage. Girlfriend worked right up to having the children. He has saved and bought a house as well. Now they are eligible to universal credits. We were having a bit of a chat one dinner and got onto the subject of how the amounts are paid. Essentially there joint income is made upto a set amount every month. In our quiet months he receives more universal credit. So we got digging and looked into this. The long and short of it he is only £25 a week worst of doing 12 hrs a week against 40. He would be better of dropping to 2 days a week and then stopping at home! There is no incentive to work you are not rewarded. You need a big step up the ladder to be a lot better off. Oh and have no more that 5k in the bank. It is only because of his mindset that he continues to work full time. [/QUOTE]
