 l struggle to see where they assist anyone into work or give that assistance that is required.  According to the universal credit if you earn roughly £400.00 a month £200.00 of of that is taken away your part time education grant is also taken away as well as your standard couples allowance, housing benefit and so the list goes on . 

The statement enticingly shows you what you could of had but as you decide to work and educate yourself into a better place, benefits are all taken away.  So instead of being entitled to approx. £1000.00 a month you are only entitled to approx. £100.00 .Is that discrimination ?  

How can you have highly a highly skilled workforce when the government insist on penalizing those that wish to help themselves ?   No amount of investment  in the workplace or education is going to assist if you can not get the basic fundamentals of society right.
