Government says problem families 'have too many children'

[Digsy]

Financial help for the first two children would still mean two of them don't get support, so splitting up wouldn't make much sense.

 

Each parent would claim for the first two children.

The same way CB currently pays a little more for the 1st child.

When the eldest grows out of CB the 2nd child becomes the 1st and gets the little more.

Or if a couple with two children split up and separate the children each get the 1st child payment.

 

Or are you suggesting that one parent from a couple that splits legitimately would get no financial aid for additional children.

And we know that the mother is more likely to get custody of the first two.

A new start is needed. There's not a lot we can do for the current crop of wasters so we can't really alter their lifestyles. Dead wood.

 

In future the state should only pay benefit for one child.

I’m saying if there was a rule that only gave state assistance for the first two children then all the state would help pay for is two no matter where or whom they live with.

There is no rational reason why this shouldn't be introduced.

Would you also apply this to the hard working family who having worked for the last 20 years lose their jobs due to the recession?

And where could these food and clothing vouchers be "spent"? in just the fat cat companies?

 

That's going to get the economy moving isn't it.

But when the families split they would then be the first two children for each one parent family.

 

Even if you don't pay any child benefit that is two lots of housing beneft you have just created.
