Didn't it 'make you mad' when you were committing benefit fraud then?!:rotfl:

Way to go with the moral high ground when in fact you were worse than her as your partner was living in the same house.

Instead of judging her (which is what you asked not to happen to you in your thread) maybe you could give helpful advice and warnings about how it's not worth it since you have been through the process.

Talk about people in glass houses:eek:

Oh ok so before you jump in feet first i had twins aged 11 when i met my boyfriend one of which is disabled for life so rather than do what 'some' women do and just move their man straight in he was staying too see if he could cope and mainly stick around ...so for your information i didn't in the end have to pay anything back and i was cleared of benefit fraud ... so judging her not really she is having her cake and eating it as well and hes on 30k a year come on !

Thanks 'georgeous george' it's nice to get a response that isn't nasty. Maybe I did word my original post wrongly, However, I can't help feeling wary of comittment and maybe I just threw myself into the deep end by becoming pregnant, but maybe that is what I needed, to face my fears. I will ignore a lot of the comments by some people who seem to think you have a crystal ball and can tell what will happen in the future or pre plan everything and things are simply black and white without taking into account human emotions or feelings. I seriously can't believe how nasty some comments are. Anyway thanks again, and I'm glad things worked out for you.

I can understand you being wary after a bad relationship. I hope it all works out for you. I think some people on these boards do have a crystal ball and have been able to plan their lives out perfectly, but that doesn't give them the right to judge others. Maybe one day their bubbles will burst and they will regret being so nasty...I do hope so.

You know that makes no sense don't you? You have written your post in the hope of demonstrating that you have 'risen above' the nastiness of some posters on here - them promptly spoilt it by wishing aforementioned posters ill.

This makes you as bad as the people that you are trying to rise above! You would do a much better job of looking superior, if you actually said "Maybe one day their bubbles will burst and they will regret being so nasty - I do hope this never happens"

Why are you not living with your partner?

I think you should move in together, and im sure that you as a couple will be able to get WTC & CTC ( forgive me if i'm wrong tho, dont really understand the tax credit system)

I dont understand people who ask what benefits they would be entitled to either on their own or as a couple.... when its a 'couple' that makes a baby.... Its like some people want to weigh up their options first to see how much money they can get from benefits :mad:, Perhaps some people should weigh up their options on having more children or not.....

Very well said... I will also put my hands under my bottom and bite my tongue!

Is it just coincidence that as soon as you find out your income support is going to stop (Age 10 limit) You fall pregnant to start the income support ball rolling again? Is it just coincidence or was it planned like that?

Ah well, you only have 5yrs this time, Tories have cut Income support eligibility down to 5. Will we expect to see you again in 5yrs pregnant with a 3rd?

You know you should be claiming as a couple don't you? Is his name going to be on birth certificate? He really doesn't want to move into your address to look after his new child?

Come on, get real. Declare yourself as a couple, do the decent and moral thing and get out of the benefits trap.

Exactly my thought.... she got preganant so her benefits wouldnt stop!
