Originally posted by Eustace H. Plimsoll So I'm a through-crack-faller (less saucy than it sounds). I was self-employed for several years, went back to an employed position (stupidly, in retrospect - I was being lazy - which I even knew at the time, if honest) for a couple of years (with a small - but understood - lowering of incoming). I faced up to my error and went back to doing my own thing in Dec.'18. Consequently, my 18/19 tax return shows negligible profit, given that I was resurrecting a dormant concern for some of that, plus Jan is always a quiet month in my industry. So... I stand to get next to nothing from the govenment provision and don't know that I'll get much of note from Universal Credit, if I even qualify. Fortunately, I've done okay since going my own way again and can hopefully tough things out if the whole thing doesn't go entirely to s*** for too long. But it's going to use up pretty much all of what I do have behind me. Now I've taken the view that it's inevitable that any system will see some fall through the cracks and I'm just unlucky that I'm one of those. Plus my (extremely limited) understanding of UBI is that it's a socialist ideal (something that would typically instinctively appeal to me) but hasn't proved very successful in practise. But, should I be more up-in-arms? I will be a bit shafted (possibly entirely), I've always paid my tax fairly (i think it's important) and it does seem that suddenly it's Socialism All The Way, or so it seems, therefore do we hang the economics and just look after EVERYONE? So am I being unfairly forgotten? Or is it, as my instinct tells me, simply tough luck? Seriously fill out the universal credit on line. A friend who is paye filled out with honest 41k salary and what he had ie house etc. Only thing he missed out for the dummy run was his bird lives with him. He would be entitled to £94 a week according to the website. He got the push to try from the martin Lewis website. Free to sign up and loads of tips on money saving. Interest free cards etc which is another way people in reality could get through this crisis as loads have 36 months term on interest free. Sometimes you have to go with the now rather than the future. I probably not a good model but my repo was 30 years ago. Nothing serious since and 7 years and my gaff is paid.
