    Oh and one more thing. I have put into the system. I am on strong painkillers (fentanyl) daily, if anyone knows an employer who will hire me then please let me know. I'd love to be able to have more than £486 a month in my bank account.[/QUOTE]

    I put into the system for 40 years and get £62 a week pension (approx. £248 a month). No help with housing costs etc. Swap yours for mine?

    I have no idea what qualities or skills you would take to an employer but would you be able to earn much more than £500 plus pay your rent and council tax out of taxed income per month?

    I know many working people who would love to have almost £500 a month left out of their wages after paying housing costs and fares to work etc. You should perhaps look at the oldstyle board to try to cut costs.

    Still I do get the £1.92p a week WFA. I shall count my blessings and give thanks to the extremely generous government.
