Call You and Yours

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On today's Call You and Yours we'll be talking about benefits. What are they for? Do the right people get them? And should the government encourage people to take more responsibility for their lifestyles? We'd love to hear about your experiences. Are you under twenty-five and claiming housing benefit or are you living at home with your parents, not claiming and saving your money? Are you a parent - do you think your children should get state support or should you step in and help? Did you wait to have a family until you could afford it - or perhaps you claimed benefits and don't know how you would have managed without them.
