People on welfare benefits must have one voice whether they are disabled or able bodied our independence on both fronts will be eroded by proposed draconian cuts .Universal Credit will put us all back socially ,encourage poverty ,crime and a more lawless society .The whole exercise is not to rescue the country because it's on bended knees but to enforce the class system between those that have and those that have not .And we that have not will have even less when Universal Credit comes into force .It will not only affect the sick ,disabled and unemployed but those in work also.A married working couple with two children will be worse off by £2700 per year .Universal credit will replace all present benefits and will be rolled into one ,which will be paid monthly to one claimant per household .Housing benefit will be included in the payment and it being part of your overall benefit entitlement it will mean less money because there will be a cap on the total amount you will receive .VOTE AGAINST DWP CUTS.Please don't hesitate to email me if you find your situation either overwhelming or frightening concerning your personal rejection by the system.

The DWP continues to ignore the devastation these cuts will cause while hiding behind their desks. I am currently gathering accounts from those of you already feeling the squeeze to show them exactly who they are hurting.

My daughter is disabled. She struggles daily, life is harder for her as it is! If Labour do this, they're no different to the Tories. They will lose my vote permanently! As a life long Labour voter, they're attacking their core vote! I will never forgive or forget, if they go ahead with this.

Utter disgrace to degrade and de humanise the sick, weak and vulnerable to plug the 'black hole' in the economy caused by the banking elite and their cronies of all parties, yet we still give millions of taxpayers money in foreign aid. SACK IAN DUNCAN SMITH, he said one could live on £53 per week, LET HIM DO IT.

Living on benefits isnt a choice for most of us. My husband lost his job and now they want to kick us while we are down. This system is broken and cruel.

Universal Credit is a disaster waiting to happen. How are people meant to pay rent when its all lumped together and paid late? My friend is already terrified she will be homeless by Christmas. Sort it out!

THEY ARE TARGETING THE POOREST WHILE THE RICH GET RICHER. DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR FROM A GOVERNMENT SUPPOSED TO LOOK AFTER US ALL. IDS HAS NO CLUE WHAT REAL LIFE IS LIKE.
