Em 2021/22, o governo do Reino Unido deverá gastar aproximadamente 216 bilhões de libras esterlinas em benefícios, um aumento de cerca de três milhões de libras em comparação com o ano anterior. Um adulto solteiro desempregado com 25 anos ou mais recebe um pagamento mensal de benefício de 325 libras (US$ 439). Em janeiro de 2022, o governo britânico anunciou que endureceria as regras para algumas pessoas que reivindicam benefícios de desemprego. Atualmente, os candidatos a emprego que recebem benefícios do estado podem passar até três meses procurando apenas um trabalho semelhante ao emprego anterior, mas isso será reduzido em breve para quatro semanas, disse o Departamento de Trabalho e Pensões.

É necessário uma reforma na forma de atribuir subsídios de forma a garantir justiça a quem realmente não tem forma de trabalhar ou quem já trabalhou uma vida ou que está momentaneamente sem condições e necessita de apoio. Algo como um empréstimo ou subsídio a quem já descontou como um saldo

Para quem é trabalhador e correto se precisar de ajuda sim para quem não é ... cortar

Menos, asegurando que os benefícios são atribuídos após uma inspeção sobre as necessidades familiares e mantidas sobre vigilância (em caso por exemplo de o beneficiário recusar propostas de emprego, estiver empregado sem contrato...)

A assistência social nao está a ser correctamente distribuída, há anos que ocorrem fraudes com estes benefícios, está à vista de todos. Enquanto os benefícios não forem correctamente aplicados não deveriam ser distribuídos

Cada caso é um caso, demasiado abstrata a questão.
There are several issues that have been rolled up in this issue. Firstly it is not about how much is spent on welfare benefits it is about what those on welfare need to survive. Poor housing leads to poor health physical and mental - However the cost of housing bears no relationship to its quality. We need to build council houses in expensive areas with rents affordable to people of limited means; Given we may never be able to build enough such house the actual rent charged should be means dependent.
The government should not be subsidizing private Industry but insisting that pay their staff a living wage. This would reduce the benefits bill. However all children, no matter the size of their family should get support from the state to ensure that they are not impoverished
Replace working income for those with genuine health issues which mean they cannot work (with signed doctor approval), otherwise more reform so it supplements a working income.

Loopholes should be closed but for those legitimately claiming it doesn't provide enough support, but should never replace a working income.

Government should be doing more to relocate people with a desire to work and therefore reduce the overall burden of welfare on the rest of society.

Benefits should be no more than the minimum wage of a full time worker, and only in place for those who truly need it

Not all benefits should be targeted as they are being. Disability benefits in particular are being targeted too harshly.
@Q54W883 anos3Y
minimum wage should be significantly increased (perhaps varying by job type) in return no benefits paid to workers but instead money paid to businesses as a per employee-on-mimimum-wage incentive. The incentives to a businesses would reduce as the businesses became more profitable.

Benefits should be case based with greater one-to-one care and attention
@Q4NHND3 anos3Y
Criteria for claiming should be reviewed and we have to create more jobs and jobs with a living wage
@Q4B8NJ3 anos3Y
There should be much more scrutiny of claimants both deserving and undeserving.

There's no easy answer to benefits. SOme people in dire need slip through the cracks, other learn to play the system. And sudden cut-off caps and limits discourage people from moving into the jobs market because a little improvement in wages leads to a huge cut in benefits

Looking for fraud in the benefit system should be confined to just that, not penalising everyone.
@PVZHQ53 anos3Y
The punitive restrictions should be less harsh, and used only when all other potential situations have been fully explored and reasonably implemented.
The financial assistance offered should be raised to a sensible level (one where people aren't left in needless poverty), and there should be more practical support than just financial aid offered to those that need it.
