"Who deserves one ijust gave myself. A £15000 pay rise its easy when your the boss so who else deserves one and why "
Well if your a boss I dare say your employees would say they deserve one .Especially putting you in a position of being able to give your self such a pay hike |

not sure anyone wouldnt want a pay rise. I kinda get the feeling this is wishful thinking as if you are the boss ie owner then this money is surely part of the profit margin. Which would be yours anyway. If your just a manager I couldnt see an owner allowing an employee to just give themselves brucie bonuses whenever they feel like it.money is not something that intrests me. as long as I can eat well and have irn bru n coffee in endless supply im happy.

Studies show a small pay rise can increase your happiness but a big one doesn't as it improves your life less than you hope it will. Or something along those lines anyway. |

"I gave myself a 15000 pay rise to.unfortunately being a union rep my employee cut it down to 5% of my salary so only worked out at 1.50per hour  "
Maybe if I spelt employer instead of employee correct they would have given me the 50% pay rise  |

I'm actually shocked, after being made redundant have spent the afternoon on the phone to the benifits people and I'm baffled. They have worked out I would be 147 a month worse off on benifits than I was in a rather good full time job.
How can that be right? I'm actually rather angry at that. But I'm guessing that would be a whole other thread but surely it should be the opposite!!! |

I don't understand - the whole push from the Tories is that people are supposed to be worse off on benefits than if they can find a job.

That is what I thought, i was fully prepared to tighten the belt till I found something else so to speak. But no 147 quid a month worse off for doing nothing that what I was working 49+ hours a week. I may have to lay off the takeaways but that would it be it.
I'm actually really angry about this btw, not trying to be boastful.
I've worked every day since I was 17 bringing up my son on his own as his father died before he was born, trying to Instill a good work ethic and that no matter what's wrong you can always succeed. Then something like this happens and sit him down explain money situation will be tight, have to cut back on a lot till I'm earning. He offered at 15 to look for something part time to help out and then phone to basic my make sure I was claiming something to keep my N.I contributions up to date and basically get told £1900 a month with free rent and council tax.
It's not right, I know both me and my son are classed as disabled people but that's more that people make in a full time job with rent to pay on top. I'm really angry at this |

I was a Director for a global firm until redundancy, bankruptcy etc threw me over the top and I'm now constantly depressed on meds and rarely
Outside my own door.
I recently started volunteering with my local CAB office and have been getting my head around the Welfare Benefits Scheme or at least trying to as I now meet people like yourself on a daily basis.
Yes, if you and your son are both disabled and on PIP, add Housing Benefit and Council Tax reduction to this then total it.
Take someone who is not disabled and on minimum wage working full time and total their take home pay.
Then Yes you are financially better off than they are.

I'm angry that for the sake of less than 200 quid a month, I've been working my arse off for 15 years, first time claiming benifits and told well you can basically eaen the same doing nothing.
It's not right, they should give you enough to live on and that's it. Not basically a 23,000 salary and oh we will pay ur rent and council tax for you as well.
There are people out working full time jobs who don't get that and have rent to pay and I think it's abhorrent that on the sick I would get more than someone working full time.
I've always worked, this is my first time claiming benifits, and I was basically told, well you and your son are disabled. Why did you bother working |

sorry really cant see a govt official saying why did you bother working.and perhaps with the disability added on you are only a little less than what you were working. No one said you have to claim the disability side thats you choosing to do that.basic sick pay leaves you on the breadline which is a long way below a living full time wage. A programme a few yrs ago in which a mp was made to live on what he called the breadline soon had him changing his mind. |

Actually I've been told to claim Esa I have to also claim pip, as the reason I'm off sick is classed as a disability. I asked if I could claim jsa and was told no as I wasn't fit for work, despite working 15 years and being made redundant.
His exact words were "in circumstances like this I wouldn't bother working, your better off just claiming" then attempted to find someone who could claim careers allowance for me and my son so we could get extra.
I have a redundancy payment coming, I was phoning to make sure my NI contributions were being covered while I was out of work.
And that's the point I'm making, I phoned to claim Esa to cover NI contributions, and was told to claim X,y,z,a,b,c and d if I can find someone who is suitable |

Yes they tell you what you may be eligible for dosnt man you have to claim them esa is seperate to pip.i think you are being very unfair presuming that anyone on sickness benefit would get anywhere near the level that you are being offered.but it comes back to yourself you are the person making the claims. You cant get jsa as you are unable to work just now so you are entitled to esa anything else is eligible but entirly your choice whether you feel its for you and deserved |
