Does UK have any social security disability or retirement other than what is relied upon by an employer? Just wondering.
Yeah there are a bunch of benefits you can claim from the government: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check/
Healthcare is also not tied to any job or anything.
Seems about equal to Social security disability but, SS is worse because they don't really tailor your payments to your housing expenses and needs. If they did, the government might even save money. I know people around me that just use most of their check for weed. If it was guaranteed to only cover your bills with a smaller spending allowance and they asked for monthly bank records to prove you were using government money wisely, there would be less freeloaders and more reserve for those who retire and have paid into it. More people who proved they could work, or who abused the system would be called out and forced to work, and those with true disabilities could stay on it.
not really any of your business. if they are able to arrange where they have spending money good for them.
i don't even support SS but this thinking is paternalistic since you don't know their personal financial situation. but the judgement is heavy
My point was that they can work, some of them have under the table jobs to begin with and they are abusing the system. Ss will occasionally audit and ask for random bank statements anyway. Not my business but it is the government's if the money comes from them (technically we who work and pay into it anyway). They don't give the money to pay for weed they give it to support you-- barely.
