    No what i want does matter,
    as its my life,
    and so i choose to only do things in my life that i want to do and enjoy doing..


    I can afford my rent.

    And if i dont change anything at all i could go on affording my rent for however long i wanted to.


    Actually, it is not you affording your rent...it is being paid for you from state funds.

    Two completely different things.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    How on earth do you still get JSA if by your own admission, you havent looked or applied for any jobs in the last year or so?

    According to LHA Direct's website, for a one-bedroom self-contained property in a very posh area of London (I used a Kensington postcode) the maximum LHA you can get is £350pw. Your maths would have to be pretty poor to make this £1,540pm. ;)

    Maybe he/ she/ it still claims along with their mum, who actually does not live there at all, as she choose to reside with her boyfriend in somewhere exotic (like Clacton). :p
    Gone ... or have I?

    Or perhaps (and rather more likely!) his life is just that sad, pathetic and pointless that he has nothing better to do than invent stories?! ;)

    Another one for the ever-growing 'Ignore' list I think!
    If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.

    Want is only fine if you're not relying on others to fund your life style.

    The rate changes every month, as im sure you know.

    Check over the rates for the last few months if you really feel the need to, as it was £355 per week (£1,540pm) for quite a while for central london.

    You're kidding me right?!

    You'd be earning £29,000 and you still want help from the state? Greedy sod, aren't you?

    Benefits are there as a sort of "safety net". If you think you'd struggle on £29,000, there's this wonderful thing called budgeting. Start doing it.

    I do realise that you are a troll (a very obvious one).

    My parents would love to earn £29k between them.

    You come across as one very ungrateful person.

    Please just ignore this person, they are troll and a wind-up merchant, if you know some of their history of posting you will know that this story does not add up to the other stories we have heard under other names.

    Please dont waste your time on them.
