    One of the reasons I've not been on the site for some time is because there are many on here who use it as a forum for their own small mindedness. People come on to ask for help not to hear right wing views

    So it is fine for you to spout your small-mindedness but others who are also challenged Pooh-Bear-wise are not permitted expression if their limited capacity disagrees with you.

    Contempt of wastrel chancers is not exclusively right wing. If anything, those working at poverty levels tend, surely, to the left and will be just as disgusted by the ugly brazenness displayed by the OP.

    I think we will see many more threads like this one, people who rely on ctc (£125.00 a week is a heck of a lot of money!) will really struggle when their youngest child finishes education. All you can do is up your hours and work full time as the rest of us do, or see if your entitled to any sickness benefit.

    Ah I thought it was 16 hours. Thanks DX.

    It's 16 for a disabled person or someone who has a child for whom they receive child benefit for. It's 30 hours (they also ahve to be 25) for those who aren't disabled and don't have a qualifying child.

    I was assuming she was over 25 as seen as she had an 18 year old lol

    hth...........

    Not really sure how that helps thank you. There is a mention of another child, but no mention of whether they were at college or working. College can continue until at least 20!! To be honest, reading all the OP's previous posts none of the info seems to add up.
