this idea that you are better off on the dole is completely wrong and if i was unemployed and having to live on 50 quid a week i would find it quite offensive when people said i was "better off"

I had to take the Mrs to the maternity ward the other day-read a book on benefit entitlements for new mums.
Here are some of the rewards
If you are on Income Support
£500 for new baby
£190 for eating healthily
Vouchers for milk and fruit/veg
Family Allowance
Tax Credits
The biggest benefit fraud though is the Disability Living Allowance and related Care Allowance for parents whose child has ADHD (Hyperactivity-90% of which is caused by poor diet-1 in 10 cases are genuine). Cant remember exact figures but 50 or 60 quid is given per week in allowances to those parents whose children have ADHD.

Because £64 a week - a tenner is a lot! I certainly wouldn't be able to afford the Internet. I've been on the Dole back in 1997 and just about scraped by managing to pay essential bills and food.

so as i said they may be connecting via an open network. and surely how they spend the money is of no concern of ours.

i agree some seem unfair, but dont tar everyone with the same brush. if i lost my job i wouldnt get the above money, i would get a flat rate to survive on.
and my son is on d.l.a and he needs it.
