PAY AND JOBS
- 1% cap on public sector pay rises
- Automatic progression pay to be ended in civil service, schools, hospitals, prisons and the police but not the armed forces
WELFARE
- New cap on elements of welfare spending from April 2015
- Cap to be set in cash terms every four years
- Housing benefit, tax credits, disability living allowance and state pension to be included
- Pensioners living abroad to lose winter fuel allowance under new "temperature test"
- Work and pensions budget cut by 9.5%
- Seven-day wait before jobseekers can claim benefits
- Claimants will have to attend language schools or benefits will be cut
- So a 9.5% budget cut, another staff pay cut in real terms, increased workload, staff having to give out more distressing decisions to customers, customers being forced toward food banks and loan sharks and the government having more excuses to stop customers money.
SHOW THE GOVERNMENT WE'LL NOT ACCEPT THESE ATTACKS ON THE WORKING CLASS - SUPPORT THE PCS NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
