    Yes I have come close to clicking on abuse by mistake, I think they are going to have problems.

    A lot of Lone Parents become ill or disabled whenever their youngest child no longer qualifies them for Income Support - they end up having to claim ESA.

    If they are not genuinely sick they won't be entitled to ESA for long and will have to claim JSA and start looking for work.
