L.H.A. Local Housing Allowance which replaces ‘housing benefit’. What are your experiences of this?
I have to say I think it is a fiasco, obviously thought up by some overpaid, twat in a government office somewhere.
The whole idea, so ‘they’ tell us is that benefit claimants should a) learn to budget and b) have the same choices as everyone else to spend their income as they see fit.
Well yes that is great, on paper! Don’t get me wrong many, many claimants pay up regularly every month and a lot of people in low paid jobs need a bit of help to put a roof over their heads. I thank them all for working and wish them well.
This diatribe is aimed more at the idiots in power who inflict this sort of crap on the rest of us and the long term, never worked – never will, I’m entitled to screw as much as I can out of the system brigade.
No I am not a Daily Mail reader before any of you hide behind this favourite shield which you will pick up when you know deep down inside that every word I say is true and you can come up with no reasonable justification for the injustices of life in Britain today. So much easier to put a person and their opinion down than actually accept any responsibility for the shit this country is in today.
I speak from experience when I say LHA which, unlike housing benefit, is paid direct to the tenant is facilitated fraud, the government/local authorities being the facilitator and the scum tenants the fraudsters.
These long term claimants know every way to work the system and it is a system which is specifically set up to make it easy for them to be dishonest. They know they will pay no rent even as they sign on the dotted line of the lease. They know that eviction processes are involved and costly to the landlord and they know they will be living elsewhere before any court papers ever wing their brown enveloped way towards them.
Rents should be paid direct to the landlord end of story. Everyone would know where they are then. These scrots are claiming their income support, job seekers allowance, disability allowance, council tax allowance and any other allowance you can think of plus they get a substantial sum as ‘rent’ which they can add to their income every four weeks.
You add it all together and they are on a good monthly ‘wage’ for sitting on their arses, smoking weed and drinking lager as they watch their 45″ flat screen telly and eat take away food wearing their labelled track suit and expensive trainers.
Laugh, they must be pissing themselves , if not through all the lager they have consumed – definitely with laughter at all the cash we are chucking at them every week.
The ordinary man in the street, that much quoted and extremely maligned person, is not actually aware of the fact that his hard earned money is given out by his local authority in regular chunks as an addition to the spending money the scrots already collect. The ordinary man in the street finds it hard to believe that ‘rent money’ is not given to the landlord. I know I have had a hard job convincing a lot of people that the scrots get the money.
Sadly I cannot name and shame the thieving b*stards but I can give you a taste of some of their answers to a civilised request for rent money.
“F*ck off yer no gettin it!”
“Av spent it I needed a wee motor to go visit ma dochter (daughter)”
“Yer huffin a laff!”
“Whatever.”
“The bank took it before I could get it.”
“I had to pay my gas bill they were going to cut me off.”
The best one for me personally was the woman who rang from the airport to say she wouldn’t be in with her rent that afternoon as she was ‘just away on a short holiday’…..
So be aware that all these people who claim ‘rent’ from your Local authority and never hand it on to their landlord are doing better each month than you are and it is all tax free.
If you have ever wondered why your neighbour who has never worked has a car parked up outside, all the latest techno stuff and has a holiday at the drop of a hat check out the average rents for the area and you will see how much more disposable income he/she has compared to yourself. What is the rent in your area? £350 – £450 – £600 – £700 nice little earner eh?
So come on what are your views on your tax money being shared out in such great chunks to the unemployed / unemployable of our society?
