Government Scraps Benefits Calculator And Plugs Private Sector Cronies Instead

Last Updated: May 7, 2014By

Is anyone surprised? This government has a history of scrapping sources of useful information – ESA mortality statistics, anybody? – and now it has handed benefit calculation over to a commercial site that pushes readers to take out private health insurance – and cuts them off if they won’t pay after two visits. It’s all part of the plan to push us onto private health and welfare, of course.
Avoid.

    Head to http://www.turn2us.org.uk for a free to use benefits calculator that also informs people of charity grants or emergency funding in their local area.

    Every time I think I think it cannot get any worse, it does, whether it is individual severe hardship or decisions affecting millions of people, like this one.

    I really, really, REALLY want to get rid of this government. Whilst the EU may be to blame for a few things, (such as rubbish not being collected properly leading to fly tipping for example) it’s not the EU that would starve me to death if it could.
