What do you think about child benefit?

Come on...

 

There must be people out there that purposely have a multiple amount of kids just to get child tax credits and child benefits. I hear there is a rule that a mother must go back to work once the child turns 7.. then the likelihood of the mother getting pregnant again to have another 7 years off work!

I think the Budget 2012 stated that if you are on less than £60k a year - you can get child benefit... who in this recession is on that amount of money a year- solely or jointly?

I had a neighbour who had kids that looked like they were a Benetton advert... just to get the benefits!  I dont think she has done a days work either! 

What do you think of people who have a multitude of kids?

I think that if you earn 59,999 a year you shouldn't be claiming child benefit
