That would be ok if the government freed up the employment sector to allow people to be employed without being tied up with loads of red tape.

NB I don't know of any computer work that can be done at home by people who are on benefits. I can't see how some of the seriously mentally ill can work for a start. I don't see how some of the disabled or chronically ill can work. Employers are highly ageist by the way so people who are fifty plus find it really hard to find a job.

Exactly Julie. Benefits are there precisely to help people like your hubby. I hope you are bearing up despite it all. x
