Re: on the dole.
Well I've never called you names t so that's rather rude as you say, from what you have said previously you sound as if you have had a very privileged life I'd still say reading that your life hasn't been that bad, some people have much less and need help. If you have never needed help I'd say that's pretty lucky.Re: on the dole.
Re: on the dole.
I'd say anyone who manages to the £1100 in benefits these days has worked to get it. I've never claimed and have always worked. But I feel nothing but sympathy for those in society who have to use the system, with all its bureaucratic obstacles and humiliations. I had to sort out disability living allowance for my dad many years ago and that was pretty complicated even then. If this money includes housing then it's leaves not very much to iive on. I hate when statistics with figures like this are thrown around without the underlying detail. It's an abuse of information by the media.Re: on the dole.
HiRe: on the dole.
My ex husband was self employed , I was working in a shop , in the same week I lost my job he fell and fractured his hip . We had very little money . I made an appointment with the dole office and wheeled him there in his wheelchair . Neither of us had ever made a claim before . Because he was self employed he was not entitled to a penny . I was given £75 a week for 3 months that was for the two of us . We lived on it till he recovered enough to return to work . We informed the dole people that he was back at work (I was retraining at college ) and our money stopped . A couple of weeks later I got a phone call to say we owed them £75 as we had been overpaid by a week . I had to send a cheque to them for that amount of money or we were told we would be prosecuted .
