...is zero for anyone with savings over 14k, will any of you getting furlough payments and stamp duty free second and third houses with savings over that threshold be returning your free loot? |  |

It's a strange policy in my opinion, it punishes savers and encourages people to have assets instead
I have to say Universal Credit wasn't fit for purpose when Lockdown kicked in, I was made redundant in February 20, not CoVid related
When I was considering my options Boris was talking about herd immunity, protecting the economy, if some old people have to die so be it etc etc
We have a full lockdown within 2 - 3 weeks of my redundancy and the job market dies over night
At that stage, there was barely a furlough scheme, let alone any idea about refurloughing etc
I don't understand why it was down to my previous employer to decide whether I was entitled to free money rather than the government itself essentially
Yes I had some redundancy money but if people are entitled to 80% of their wage when market conditions mean finding a job is going to be very very difficult, I'd have quite liked it
I eventually found a new job in November but the Government's mishandling of the situation, certainly cost me a fair portion of money [Post edited 17 Jun 2021 14:15]
