Heads up for those with children - Don't miss out!

Sorry, i'm an absolute numpty i've been sat here for ages trying to work it out. I was born on 22nd November 1986, does that make me eligible?

If £40 a month isn't enough, perhaps you should be thinking about the costs of having children and have considered whether or not you can afford it.

This is just another handout discriminating against single people.

I couldn't give a monkeys if you enjoy being a father or not. What I care about is being in a country that is going down the ******* because of a financial crisis and it's handing out tax credits for people that have children? Wise up. If you can't afford them, don't have them.

Thats Very Harsh tbh... :mad:
 
Filled in one of these a week or 2 ago, waiting to hear back but am expecting the amount near 500.

To those bemoaning the fact im claiming i dont care, i've paid more money in tax and NI than i care to think about (the amount im claiming is peanuts compared to what i pay in tax every year), i have private healthcare / dentalcare so rarely use NHS for anything. If i have a chance to get some of my money back then im going to bloody take it!

Gonna fill my form in tonight at work, i would love the tax man to say "oh yes" but im not generally that lucky - they will probably come back to me and say " i owe them"
 
Forwarded on to my parents, though if we're lucky enough not to have already had it back i've made a deal that they get half and i get half :D (only to help pay towards moving home though) knowing my luck they've already had it and spent it :( :p

Right then you twisted little man:

1. I didn't change the tax system so they could invent the new tax credit system and receive these 'handouts', the Government did.

2. If you think your NI contribs are wasted, I could freely wander round and kick your arse down some stairs for being a complete retard then you will get your money back won't you.

3. If you think its discriminating against single people then you are again wasting your keyboard warrior minutes. SIngle parents also get it, they are single. Just because you are so much up your own jacksey that no onw iwll touch you with a barge pole the rest of us should all dance to your fiddle?

4. You think this country is going down the pan because of tax credits given to parents? Ever looked at what MPs spend on second houses, what money this country sends as 'aid' to other countries when its own is on the way down the river with no paddle, the amount given to consultants to devise other ways of getting more money from people.

5. Where did I say that 40 quid isn't enough, I said it was a pathetic amount and just to bug you even more, we split that money and let the kids put it in their piggy banks or spend on ice cream and toys that they want as long as they do their chores around the house. It doesn't even come into the household budget.

Looking at your rather pathetic attack on benefits (and can I point out tax credits are not benefits, they are something dreamed up by high paid consultants), you would like all pensioners dead and buried as paying pensions is a waste of space, all disabled people carted off somewhere as they cannot work (and I am talking about the truely disabled not the spongers), perhaps you would like the police, ambulance and fire brigades budgets cut as you don't call them out every week.

Perhaps you would like to move to the States where you can pay for your medical help when needed instead of being forced to pay for leechers like me and my family (who have been in hospital twice in the combined 16 years they have been alive)

You are an idiot, possibly one of the most amusing idiots that is on this forum. Its not my fault that I have a loving family with children whereas you just have your bitter old self to sit at home alone, cracking off to the imaginary girlfriend who will never have kids with you because you are a pillock.

People like you make me laugh, **** off the way the country is going financially and then moan that you are forced to put some cash in the NHS coffers.

I await your witty comeback whilst not giving a monkies about people being happy as a father, something I hope you never get the chance to be.

As always, your witty comeback will be met with the attention it deserves.
 
Am I right in thinking that not everyone one can claim it, and those whose parents were/are on £60k+ (or whatever the magic number is) and paying 40% tax can't get anything?
 
The parents claim it, not the children. It's generally paid as reduced future income tax for the parents, not as a cheque. It starts to reduce if the highest paid parent is earning £29,900 or more. By the time the highest salary reaches £38,000 it's all gone.

To be honest I think he is fully justified.. Platypus' post came across very condescending, when if I remember correctly he, a little while ago was moaning about his job? Proof in my eyes that money doesn't always mean everything ;)

I think some of the high and mighty people need to think about the foundations of this country and exactly why we were so great...

... and yeah, I hate taxes like the last person. But I know for the most part they are essential - and this is coming from someone who will be paying a lot! ;)
 
I phoned up the Tax office but was told that my tax code back then had been adjusted to take all this into account. So, nothing extra for me =(

LOL yeah, okay - go join the other idiot.

I was pointing out that if he wanted to **** us wasters off who enjoy life with kids for spending 'his' NHS money I could assist him getting his money worth.

If you too had a brain you would have noticed that as a rhetorical (or however you spell it) answer to his pitiful questioning.

I took his 'posting' as a dig at me as I am a parent - people have a go they will get answered.

There are a lot of ways I think the Government is wasting money but do you see me attacking the people that decisions made by Government effect? No thats because I have the ability to differentiate between who makes the decisions on who gets what and who receives the money.

If you want to sit behind a keyboard and **** someone off go find the email address of your local MP.

However, I guess this post will be wasted on you two.


Edit: If you think that what I posted before was immature I can do worse and get to his level, would that float your boat?
