Believe it or not, there are plenty of people who have never claimed a penny in unemployment benefits or sickness benefits in the whole of their working lives. Being on and off benefits may not be anybody's fault but it's hardly a normal way of living.

True, but that does not make them any more entitled to the moral high ground, and krisskross frequently behaves like she believes she is, along with the rest of her - dare I say it - little clique.

There's a reason I have half the people in this thread on ignore. *g*

your husband aa does not count of course,neither does any unemployment,during either of your life,or sickness time off.

Neither of us ever claimed any sort of unemployment pay. Yes thanks to all my detractors here on jolly MSE he does get almost £300 a month AA. And he gets free taxis to all his hospital appointments.

Amazing what we had been missing out on. MSE is a real benefit claiming education.

Why is it ok for your husband to claim AA, yet you have a go at people for claiming DLA?

You benefitted from them though.

Doubt there was any benefit to us. He was only earning ~£700 a year so would not have been paying income tax.

I don't 'have a go' at people legitimately claiming DLA.

I do however agree with the government that there need to be far more checks on people claiming it. And no one claiming with cast iron validity has anything to fear.

If it was decided that my husband didn't have the required care needs for high rate AA then I presume it would be stopped. No arguments from us if he didn't meet the criteria. But we certainly wouldn't be exaggerating or embellishing his problems to ensure he kept it.

You've had a go at me - I claim it legitimately.

It's not that simple though. I had to fight for mine; as do many other people who are entitled to claim it.
