Holidays paid for when your on benefits??


Recommended Posts

Nope fraid not! one of the families i know quite well, they went to skeggy for a week in a caravan and the social have paid for it, the woman is a carer for her mother and said she was stressed and needed a break so the social paid for her to go to skeggy and even gave her £300 spending money fact! crazy!

 

Maybe it's rest bite care? It's way cheaper to have a relative look after a family member than local authority. Even with a holiday thrown in.

As usual you leave a thread for an hour or so and everyone comments and jumps to their own conclusions :roll:

1, Shes not a full time carer or registered as her carer, she just helps her out.

2, why would i be jealous of someone going to skeggy for a week? lol Just ridiculous!.

3, I and alot of people work hard for a holiday and yet some people on benefits get given the money for doing nothing! Yes i begrudge that, rewarded for not working!

Was you present when these people went to the social for a grand loan for a holiday?.

Also if true what's the problem if they pay it back?.

 

I suspect these people know what your reaction would be and are winding you up................
