What am I entitled to?

in Benefits & tax credits
I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I think I might give up my job and just claim benefits.

I've got bus fares to pay for going to and from work, 2 lots of school dinners to pay for, I have to pay for my eye tests and dental work.

I have to pay Council tax every month, as well as the mortgage.

What am I entitled to?

Will I be able to get discounts for entry to things etc?
When your life is a mess, stop and think what you are doing before bringing more kids into it, it's not fair on them.

    in the real world, of work and benefits, people are ALLOWED to have a different opinion---I'm sorry if the fact that what I think makes you think I am a WUM, but unforunately for you, that is just tough isn't it?


    I would like to know what I am ENTITLED to if I pack in my job.

    Well if you pack in your job you'll most likely be sanctioned for up to 26 weeks ;)

    Yep.. posting history indicates strongly to me this thread is meant to make a political point and is not requesting of information that I suspect the Op actually has a good knowledge of already. Try the calculator at the top if not the case.
