WELFARE BENEFITS SURVEY - We need to know how the proposed Welfare Benefit changes may impact on you and your family?
We are following up on complaints from grandparents who may be affected by the Welfare Benefit proposed changes. We have heard that a number of grandparents raising a grandchild will be forced to move from income support or other benefits to Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) because their youngest child is now 5 years old. Some have been asked to attend 'work' shops such as 'Shaw Trust'. Some have had to pay for childcare to attend.
Please can you help us gather some evidence and complete this short survey to see just how wide spread this problem is? If we have enough responses we will provide a template letter to write to MP's and highlight this issue for grandparents providing full time care.
