NoPests Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Have you got a husband or partner, it makes me sick the amount of money is paid in benefits to some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dress4Less Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I am sure this thread is going to annoy many many people when the minimum wage is around £6 an hour or £12,000 a year. It is not your fault you get £23,000 in benefits it is Labours fault for allowing you to claim it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Davis Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How on earth do you get this much? Can you give us a breakdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries22 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just because the op is on benefits now does not mean he has never worked. He could have paid into the system for years, and is just getting back what he is entitled to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Quite a lot of this 23k will be housing benefit and council tax benefit. they won't be getting 23k in cash, although I appreciate thats not the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point. Its time someone took a look at cutting your benefits. Its the rest of us that are paying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've surprised me there, I would have thought there was a wealth of opportunities with great career prospects in Sutton-On-Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If on benefit payday you were £50 short would you just forget about it because you are paid too much or would you ring up the benefits office and say they owe you £50?
