    As I'm sure you're not planning on making a career out of claiming benefits have you thought about how you're going to afford rent like that when you've got a job?

    Of course depending on your wage you may still be able to claim some LHA but it's not going to cover all the rent


    Thankyou for your care and concern, however if in the future i require any assistance or advice regarding my financial or employment situation i will create my own thread about it.

    Why do you think that every person who lives in London and claims benefits is a troll, or someone that cheats the system?

    Why should i tell you, an anonymous stranger on the internet, the district that i live in?
    If you fancy giving me your home phone number, national insurance number, and bank details, then maybe il give you my personal info. :)

    I didnt start this thread, as i dont currently have any problems myself that i require help with, i merely posted in it to assist the OP with their question.
    And instead of attacking me i suggest you read what Martin wrote in the sticky for this forum.
    As the forum isnt to attack people just because they get more money than you, its to help people get their full benefits entitlement, which is all that i do.



    Its about helping people get their entitlement! Not about benefits policy!
    This board is here for help and support for those on or looking to claim benefits, not for judgement.

    Of course we all know the benefits system is a mess

    Whatever you're political persuasion, we're all aware the benefits system is a mess. Whether its the malpayments of tax credits on one hand, benefit fraud on the other hand, or simply the fact that sometimes it doesn't pay to work - everyone has their grumble.

    This board is here to help people with their money though..

    Yet that isn't what this board is for. It's here to help people find out what they are entitled to under the current system, and to help them get it. Benefits do provide a lifeline for many, and this site is here to help people with their money, and not to judge. Of course, how to illegally defraud the benefits system shouldn't be discussed here, but ensuring you're getting your entitlement is exactly what its about.

    Want to discuss the benefits system? Go to the discussion board

    If you want to discuss the benefits system itself and issues around it, the appropriate place isn't here but the Discussion Board and even there, please remember courtesy and not to make it personal about anyone. This site's prime purpose it to help people with their money and I will always act to protect that.

    Thanks for your co-operation

    Martin
