You have either 2 choices then. You find a better paid job or you cut down on your spends. Being a healthy adult, you have more choices than most genuine disabled people.
He needs to save money cutting the Internet out, stops the trolling too lol. Unless he's using work's Internet... Get back to work! LOL;);)0 -
Yes, Support Group... So I have some kind of independence paying my way within the relationship
That's exceptional that you were placed in support without any form filling or assessment! Not heard of that before, that's good news“How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.”0 -
Thank you... It's most likely because of my horrific medical notes of being held in secure unit psyche wards etc. I'm glad it just happened as the assessing would probably tip me over the edge. Doesn't take much.0

That explains it then lol
That explains what? The point I made is that this person is getting a massive amount of money in benefits. More than most can earn working full time. The question of whether they have a mortgage or not is irrelevant. In fact, if they had a mortgage, they'd get even more money as the tax payer would pay their mortgage interest for them!!0 -

Well, you can't get a mortgage with that amount of money for a start. So what benefits are they getting?0
