Jobs are like gold dust in this economy, full time jobs even more so.

No need to be rude! I am sure there are jobs if you are desperate, like working in a care home.

Yes I can read and not just this thread; that's why I made the comment I did.

Yet you thank others who are ruder?

I have applied for many jobs including care homes, toilet cleaning etc already as has my OH. To say there are jobs if you are desperate is beyond delusional.

My partner has paid tax and national insurance on his wages at a substantial rate for many, many years, and will start paying again as soon as he finds another job, so if you look at it that way, essentially it is self-supporting. Surely he too should be entitled to help in his hour of need?

If he has earned loads of money as you say because he has paid so much in tax. Where is it all?

Should you as a couple not be living off those savings now.

Calley, it was spent long ago due to my OH and I not being psychic.

You also have posted regarding choosing to take a minimum wage job with part time hours.

You don't need to be psychic to plan for the future; many people on a decent income take out insurance to protect themselves if they can afford it.

I left management because I was ill with stress, and going back to NMW was for the sake of my mental health. I did not take so much as a penny of benefits at that time although I would have been fully entitled to. I do have PPI insurance in my name only which would pay out if I lost my job.

As I've mentioned before, we pay, or have paid, National Insurance and tax too- more in the past than we'll take in benefits and shall continue to pay this in the future with interest, so as far as I'm concerned, the way I look at it we're not scrounging off anybody but effectively using our own insurance contributions in our (hopefully brief) time of need.
