I find this new sceme bewildering. Firstly I am emolyped full-time (40 hours per week) I also earn above the minimum wage, I also receive housing benefits and full working tax credits. In my current situation it will not affect me, however I had been planning on becoming self emolyped. So that I can work from home and help my wife look after our 2 disabled children, as their disabilities are becoming more troublesome as they get older. Should I become self emolyped currently I will be earning less and wages would be sparodic, but I would be receiving no extra benefits than if I was earning more in full time employment. In effect I would be taking a personal loss of earnings, with no extra cost to the government or taxpayer. However under the universal credit sceme I will be forced to stay in full time employment and end up getting a private carer, who will be required to have one on one care for a disabled child who needs constant supervision, they will also be required to have some medical knowledge in the event of an emergency and full knowledge of medical notes should an ambulance be required. This will of course be expensive but the government pays for 95% of the fees. So in short rather than taking a personal loss of wages, the taxpayer will be paying for the care, while I make myself money. I will be more financially better off at the cost of what is better for my family, thanks for that!
