agree 100% with you I was lucky enough to be insured when I had the accident so the fact that I still get a £1000 a month from the government I think is a joke (I'm not stupid so I'll not look opportunity in the face and I'll save the money for Andrew) and if Jan gets the regrading at work she'll move into the high tax bracket where I was before the accident but my attitude is it's going to cost too much to deal with those cases where 2 parents who work make more than 1 than who looses the benefit so be it, the world not perfect there will always be losers and gainers and taking it away from high rate tax payers will save the government a shed load of money so for it government
