Steve Mc Queen said:I am a mortgage adviser and I have been approached by several EU immigrants for mortgages. When I told one he had insufficient income for a particular mortgage he asked me if he could take into account benefits!. I was suprised to see how lucky he was. Working family tax credit, child tax credit, disability living allowance for his wife. Oh yes and his daughter gets £30 per week education Maintenence allowence and they are in reciept of housing benefit. Arrived in UK 6 weeks ago.
you cant blame them for claiming what they are legally entitled to, the problem is our benefits system. i've said it a million times and i'll say it again, scrap benefits, all of them. use the money that saved to reduce taxes for workers. all of a sudden the country goes back to work and the lazy struggle to survive, the way it should be.
