compare the two posts above, both made by you and they are contradictory.

Worked all your life? Your in your mid thirthies and have been on benefits for a long time so all your life isnt long, is it?

Your partner also gave up his job as soon as he moved in with you to protect/increase your benefits.

And you still claimed IS as a single person until you were investigated for fraud.

People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

People shouldn't talk about things they know nothing about.

Ive never claimed IS as a single person as I am on IB.

I was wrongly investigated for fraud as my boyfriend had his own house & I was proved innocent.

My boyfriend worked up until the New Year when he was made redundant along with his entire workforce as his depot closed down.

My bf is now my carer as im on middle rate dla & the social services say I need support due to being ill.

I won't be on benefits for long & still have 20 odd years of working life left.

I imagine that you must be a hard working tax payer that has never had to claim benefits then?

Or are you in a glass house throwing stones too?

in that case as an adult the student has to work out if they can afford to study,and how they will fund it
if the parents cant/wont provide the level of funding that is calculated as required then the student has to work to cover that money or cant go to uni

I would have thought that was obvious really - DD was told from the outset that there was no spare money to pay for her accommodation or food etc whilst she was away, as that was what the loan was for; if she needed more, she would need to get a job, or choose a uni closer to home.

Why did you not budget for 52 weeks? This is what students are advised to do; as they can't claim benefits over the summer.

Ive never claimed IS as a single person as I am on IB. Because of 3 of you getting DLA while you were a single parent no one would have stayed on IB when you would get more on IS.

I was wrongly investigated for fraud as my boyfriend had his own house & I was proved innocent. He lived with his parents when you posted here about your IUC, remember that was why you joined MSE.

My boyfriend worked up until the New Year when he was made redundant along with his entire workforce as his depot closed down. Very convenent.

My bf is now my carer as im on middle rate dla & the social services say I need support due to being ill. Very convenent again, you needed the help as soon as he was unemployed.

I won't be on benefits for long & still have 20 odd years of working life left. Another kid wont help that, will it?

I imagine that you must be a hard working tax payer that has never had to claim benefits then? I pay tax, I paid £9k capital gains tax last week and ive never claimed a means tested benefit in my life and that includeds childs tax/working tax credits.

I wasn't getting dla when I was 1st started getting IB & i'm still on IB now. Infact when I 1st became a single parent I was still working ableit on the sick & receiving SSP which I did for 28 weeks before claiming IB.

I was wrongly investigated for fraud as my boyfriend had his own house & I was proved innocent. He lived with his parents when you posted here about your IUC, remember that was why you joined MSE.
My bf had just moved in with his mum when I joined mse but the period they were investigating me for was a couple of months previously as the letter had been sent to my old address. It's irrelevant anyway, the point is I was proved Innocent therfore I wasn't falsely claiming anything & neither am I now.

My boyfriend worked up until the New Year when he was made redundant along with his entire workforce as his depot closed down. Very convenent.
Im sure the 150 people that worked there & became unemployed on New Years eve would disagree. http://www.roadtransport.com/Articles/2009/10/24/134858/Ceva-set-to-cut-150-Northamptonshire-jobs.htm

My bf is now my carer as im on middle rate dla & the social services say I need support due to being ill. Very convenent again, you needed the help as soon as he was unemployed. No before he became unemployed my mum & my sister took turns caring for me & my kids as I was in & out of hospital for 2 years.

I won't be on benefits for long & still have 20 odd years of working life left. Another kid wont help that, will it? Won't help what? me return to work? Lot's of mums work & I did before I was ill even with 2 disabled children. Me having another kid is my choice & frankly none of your business nor is whats wrong with me & when/why I can't work.

I imagine that you must be a hard working tax payer that has never had to claim benefits then? I pay tax, I paid £9k capital gains tax last week and ive never claimed a means tested benefit in my life and that includeds childs tax/working tax credits. Woopee do for you, guess what not everyone is as fortunate as you.

Ive never pretended to be something im not, everyone on here knows about my sistuation as you have pointed out.

You are very small minded & the reason I don't like people.

I'm autistic so don't always understand what people say/write & have difficulty exprssing myself sometimes the same way. What's your excuse, you just think your better than me & I can assure you you are not.

The point I was making with you op is that her parents can afford to keep her whilst she is at uni so why should the state pay them hb. My son will be going to uni in a couple of years & im prepared to keep him until he is in full time work & I will be working by then as will my bf.

AS ive stated to you several times now & which you conveniently (see I can spell better than you)are ignoring is that I am claiming things that I am legally entitled to, infact I don't actually claim as much as I could as I feel guilty about it.

Arg, the disability card, I wasnt expecting that, was I?

Im not small minded but I do have a long memory and thats something you must not have to post the rubbish that you have on this thread.:p

How can you keep your son when you cant keep yourself without every benefit going?:rotfl:

Maybe your spelling will help you to keep him, eh?:D

You can make your smug remarks & think you are superior to me all you want.

Yes I may have a disability but that doesn't make my opinions any less valid than yours.

You just ignore the facts that I have given to support everything that you have accused me.

I have never falsely claimed any benefit despite what you or any other benefit basher can say.

I guess other than pick on a disabled cancer survivor you have nothing better to do with your time.

Im so glad i'm not bitter & twisted like you.

I didnt mention my own disabilities, you brought it up as poor me as I knew you would do, never thinking that I could be not neuro typical and severly physically disabled myself, lets face it look at your user name.

ONW isnt Breast Cancer Victim, nor are any of the other MSE`s who have come through hell like myself but at every opertunity you drag it out and accuse people of having a go at you because you disabled.

And dont forget that you only got away with your boyfriend staying there after you IUC because you played the disability card there too.

You cant post attackting people on one hand while doing even worse yourself, that was why I posted a reply to you and that reason only.

Bitter? Twisted?, no just honest and someone who isnt a hypocrite like you.

Iv been following this thread since it started. Breast Cancer Survivor do you really think that if you are as ill as you say you are, do you really think having a baby is the responsible thing to do.
In my opinion if you are well enough to get pregnant then you are well enough to work.
I do not doubt you have been very ill and required help but you say you are disabled and need lots of help, your 2 children have Autism and will need extra help and who will be looking after them if you get ill again, you live on benefits, which is fine if you really need the help, how is having a baby going to make the situation better? It could have devastating effect on you and your un-born baby and if something happened to you who would then look after you other children. I understand that your partner has no children but maybe that is the way it is and he will never have his own children. This is just my opinion but you sound really selfish if you cant support the kids you have got now yourselves through full time work then you really should not be even considering another baby. Its irresponsible.

OP if you are still around i sympathise with you.
Its very easy to be told to budget and rightly or wrongly that never seems to happen in a students first year. No matter how good the intentions. I have been there myself and its your first year away from home, living on your own budget. Everyone makes mistakes !

If I was you OP i would be getting in touch with all hotels in your local area. They are coming into the wedding season which is a very busy time and they normally need all the casual help they can get. You might be able to get some waiting on work or some bar work, both of which equal potential tips which is always a bonus

Another plus side to this is you will more than likely get a lot of hours as like i said its a really busy time and they may keep you on their books for the xmas period too. So you might get some work over your Christmas break as well.

This is what I did while i was at University, going home in the holidays and working 50 hours weeks it really helped me through.

Good luck.
