The anger being aimed at this young lady is unfair.
We should all be more angry at the government rewarding all of those bankers for their failures, by bailing them out to the tune of £1.5 trillion !!!!!!
Yet we somehow are more able to get angry at the single mother reliant on the government for support. This government are very good at getting us plebs to turn against ourselves.
Get angry at the idiots in the glass towers before you get angry at the single mother. Wake up people.
maybe you should read another of her posts here:

i just wanted to say my twins share right now and my youngest has the smallest room, when we move to a mobile home we will be knocking the rooms threw and putting all 3 in together as it would be easier than trying to squeeze them into tiny rooms and i know they will be fine and hopefully it will help them bond
i would suggest a toddler bed instead of a single bed they shopuld last til 7-8 yearsDEC GC £463.67/£450

Sorry - but I have to pick up on something in this - do parents actually let their sons and daughters bring boyfriends or girlfriends home and share their bed?
At what age do you start allowing this, and is it for all boyfriends and girlfriends or do they have to be together for a certain length of time?
I'm 28 and when I bring my boyfriend home (who I have been with for around 8 years) he has to sleep in my brothers room.
I have only just moved home again about a year ago after moving out when I was 18 - so its hard to adjust too again.
Sorry, you misunderstood my meaning - I meant when they brought a girlfriend/boyfriend (or even just a friend, for that matter!) home and wanted a bit of privacy...........not to spend the night/do anything 'naughty', lol!!! When I was a teenager (only child in my parents' owner-occupied 3 bed house) I used to be allowed (from about 16) to have friends of both sexes in my room to listen to music and I was just thinking that it would be difficult to do that in my DH's childhood home as when his elder brother was 16, my DH was only 6
Like yourself when I met my DH (whilst at uni), I was not allowed to share a room over night with him at my parents'house - even up to the age of 23 this was not permitted. On the other hand, our DS was 16 and just started in his independent school's sixth form when he began going out with his G/F and we took the decision to let them sleep together in our home as we felt if we did not allow it, they would do so anyway elsewhere and at least they were safe in our home............they are now 22 and still together, having survived separation through going to different unis and have just purchased their own flat, but I'm drifting off topic totally nowMortgage-free for fourteen years!

I had a hypocrite for a parent - when visiting my father with my boyfriend ( who I lived with at the time) we were put in bedrooms at opposite ends of the house, while his girlfriend slept with him. I put up with it as it was his house and his rules, but it didn't do a lot to make me value his opinions from that point on.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Like some of the posters, I also pay my taxes and do not claim a penny but I realise that OP is not doing anything illegal. She wants information on claiming what she may be entitled to. Can I urge everyone to stop playing moral police here. We do not pay taxes just to fund OP's housing but also for many other amenities we enjoy in this nation. Please do not judge someone by a few posts.
Such attitude is fueling the social/economic divide and will only make things worse.Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. - Alex Supertramp0 -

Funny that the OP has also been panic stricken very recently about her income support stopping as he r child is old enough for her to get a job. Why is the OP a single parent, where's the bloody father?????
Why can't the father stump up for the 3rd bedroom on top of her LHA?
And I concur with the post that mentioned keeping your knickers on tbpfh.0 -

She also has a total income of £2300 a month on benefits with only the one child,thanks to her parents giving her £900 a month that should stop other benefits...but hey ho,lets all be huggy huggy and there-there because she really needs support right?:rotfl:If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0
