    Just To Let You All Know This Is Not A Wind Up.

    I Do Have A Second Job I Work Every Evening In The Week After My Full Time Job And Also At The Weekend, So Yes I Am Helping Myself And Not Just Trying To Claim Benefits.
    If I Wanted A Lodger I Would Ask My Other Half To Move In But I Dont. Independence Is Important To Me And That Was The Whold Point In Moving Out.
    Im Not Just Making Up Lame Excuses. If I Had The Time Id Get A 3rd Job But Unfortunately There Arnt Enough Hours In The Day,

    It isn't a wind up but you will not answer the questions required to check your benefit entitlement? :confused:
    Gone ... or have I?

    Well, I find that the majority of people are, when there are reasonable/genuine reasons for help being asked for.

    Are you being paid the min wage summerboo?? Full-time hours are 37 plus part-time work say 15 hrs which would equal 52 hrs a week, surely this would give you more than £1300 a year.

    In that case there is no way that you have used entitledto, as it asks for the relevant LHA in order to calculate your benefit entitlement.

    Look at my first post, use the link, or say which town you live in.

    You are not helping yourself here.
