Getting rid of EMA, ALG and Child Benefits would be one of the worst idea’s to be made alot of family’s haven’t got enough money coming in. In my case iv got a dad that’s disabled and a mother who can barely keep me and my brother going as she’s too busy looking after my dad and my brother I can take care of myself but barely. As well as where my dad got screwed over by his boss as his accident wasn’t registered he got screwed over nearly £75,000 so he cant work any more so for me to get to college the only source of money I get is EMA I get £30 a week and that goes £11.50 train fare a week and the rest towards resources I don’t even have the luxury to buy shoes or any sort of clothing as mums child benefits go towards feeding the house which is barely anything once every 4weeks we get a decent meal which mum has to save up for which is about £2.50 a week I got a job just to help bay bills and internet and T.V licenses so all the money I make goes towards the house and the EMA is the only things allowing me to be able to get to college every week.
Take Natalie’s comment for example she probably comes form a rich home so she can buy shoe’s and clothes whenever she feels like it and I understand it where she thinks its not fair with tax helping poorer people with EMA but in a way it’s a good thing as they are helping less fortunate people because if EMA, ALG and Child Benefits are stopped then there will riots all over the UK.
Yours Sincerely Jamie
