I read that the government are wanting to look into all disability claimants bank accounts to see what we are spending money on and they can then say that oh! you spend the money on a certain item you should not so we are now going to cut your money.
This is something that they hope to do in time, it has been on the online news.
This would be terrible for us autistic people because a lot of people do not understand autism and how diverse we all are:
for example: autistics might buy the following some might not and need other things for their autism:
Felt tips, paper, pencils art things: they would not understand that this helps us stay calm by being creative and can help stop us going into further meltdowns etc.
A computer and games: same reason as above
A piano and sheet music: could be a special interest and is needed for the autistic person and help stop meltdowns too.
Fancy clothes: for me its 1950s style clothes, to express myself and I cant stand to wear certain clothes
Gluten free foods, special travel like a taxi as buses might be too stressful that day
An indoor clothes drier to stop damp
collections of trains or magazines, comics etc
Some people who dont understand autistim and will think that oh they are buying what they want not what they need, tut tut, they should not be buying that.
What about the autistic that goes on the trains all day because they like it is sooths them. and then someone will say well if they ride trains all day let them work on the trains, but that autistic might be able to talk to people one day but then another day might be mute or unable to and could not work.
yes there are autistics that can work, and those that work long term are ones that got lucky finding their job that is good for them for example they like action figures so work in a forbidden planet. and are okay with people as long as they are talking about the products. but others cannot cope with work at all.
I feel that the government need to understand autism much more. No two autistic people are alike.
What about the person who is has to pay for a private dentist because they dont like the building their local NHS dentists are in for example, and need to have the calm of a private dentist that understands .
Some autistics might have to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes as they cannot wear cheaper ones for what ever reason (the way they feel etc)
these are not all conditions or needs I have just listing how diverse we all are and why this new plan is not very nice.
Because it is scary somehow, big brother is watching you type stuff.
It also puts non-disabled people against disabled people they dont understand, they have never seen an autistic meltdown for example
I would imagine they’re less interested in where your money is going and more interested in where your money is coming from. They want to see if you’re working a secret second job under the table.
yeah in general to track benefit fraud... if you have undeclared income that could impact your benefits your not telling them of then your wrongfully claiming benefits. this is a big thing and they are very strict on it. but also to see where your spending your welfare on is important for this too.... as you could for all they know be storing excess money in crypto currency, and thus have a bank just under their limits and yet funnel all the extra constantly to a crypto exchange which means you do have all that extra wealth stored in a unofficial exchange/bank that they cant see.... allowing them to see your bank allows them to see movement like this and determine if your storing wealth in crypto... or in gold bullion too which they cannot track....
imagine your claiming benefits, living free somehow like with parents. your always just under the benefit allowance allowing you to constantly stay on welfare but yet you have no upkeep.... then they see when you reach a certain banked amount you then buy a physical untraceable tax free gold bullion coin from the royal mint.... is that acceptable? its clear fraud and its seeable by seeing their transactions.... you can be on benefits and be millions over the allowance this way and save and stack a few hundred thousand and be earning more than a job this way off the backs of people who are slaving away suffering and working hard.
true. just like covid was just the doorway to allow the government to confine everyone to house arrest and force any jabs on us as possible and test how compliant to dictatorial force and a breach of our bodies we will be under their demand.
Sure. There may be a person who works the system successfully. But, you could ask why, if they're that smart, they're not doing something better? Scamming the system won't make you rich, generally speaking.
The idea of the millionaire benefits fraudster is a myth, which serves to perpetuate a lack of empathy with people who are poor and vulnerable.
Are the new powers about fraud? Sure.
But a whole lot more than that. Fraud is just the doorway.
