Super Heroes - No National Insurance Payments - Welfare Benifit - No One Escapes.


"And they said I was not entitled to any Jobseeker's or housing benifit at all," moaned Batman. "I've got a large automobile to run."

"Yeah same here,"replied Flash. "I'm down to my last pair of running boots."

"I'm supposed to do 16 job applications a week," replied Superman. "I've had my benifit capped."

"Who's turn to buy the White Lightening Cider?" They all asked in unison.

Welcome to the real world fellas!

UK Welfare Benifit Cap



I think a cap of £500 a week on welfare benefit is still too big. There must be a lot of people who would look at claiming £500 a week and be too worried about going to work. Imagine being on a low wage and earning £250 after stoppages and being charged for NHS services that you get taken from your wages by National Insurance. You have to pay twice if you earn minimum wage, yet someone claiming gets everything on NHS like dental and doctor prescriptions free. The situation has got out of hand, though I do believe unemployed people should have a right to welfare benefit. It is just too high a cap and the many jobs of low to minimum wage make people worse off.
