    I have no "history" with miss k & so no axe to grind.

    But the inconsistancies in her posts are glaringly plain.

    YES I think it is wrong. Dole/social money DOES NOT come out of the governments pockets, it comes out of all of ours. Some of that money she is appropreating belongs to me (& each of you reading this).

    Do you really think it OK, that someone well enough to DRIVE, WORK & attend COLLEGE claims disability benefits (no doubt a new car is one of those, I wonder if I will EVER be able to afford to drive a brand new car:confused: ) that include a live in au pair. For which "WE" pay £200 per week & miss k pockets an "extra" on top of all the other "benefits" £150 as well as getting a live in maid?????

    HAS THIS COUNTRY GONE MAD:mad: :mad: :mad:

    ITS WRONG, & I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY ITS WRONG.


    I copied this from another part of this site, the author seems to know what he's talking about:


    Want to discuss the benefits system? Go to the discussion board

    If you want to discuss the benefits system itself and issues around it, the appropriate place isn't here but the Discussion Board and even there, please remember courtesy and not to make it personal about anyone. This site's prime purpose it to help people with their money and I will always act to protect that.

    Thanks for your co-operation

    of course you are right ...benefits should be discussed on the benefits forum..but in general threads is where Miss K`s methods are revealed..it would be strange not to reply inthat particular thread. Yes...this site is to help with money issues...but Miss K does not need any help with her money!! She receives her wages, her student funding, disability living allowance, enhanced tax credits re DLA, direct payments for her own care which she spends on an au pair, childcare addition to tax credits (and possibly student related also)..even for days she does not work and in addition to the fact that she has an au pair to care for her child, she self certified her own mortgage(well knowing that there is no way she will lose DLA as she knows how to play it), she is working her way to being a landlord - does she need help with money?? No...she has got it completely sorted. Would anyone mind if they thought she needed care..of course not! Miss K has a mother who was an underwriter for DLA ..Miss K finds a condition that is undiagnosed but in unpredictable and unproven so DLA kicks in ..strangely so does her brother (though she has no idea what he claims for!!) - Miss K needs no help with money ..in fact I am sure she has taught a few of us "jealous thickos" a thing or two ! Of course most people would not manipulate the benefit system in this way - but for Miss K it is getting her on the property ladder etc. She could open her own website ... howtogetDLAwithoutbeingdisabled.co.uk .. now THAT would make her a fortune!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    The quote I pasted onto my last post actually says that this subject should be discussed on the 'Discussion board'(discussion time). I don't know who this 'Martin' character is, but he makes a good point.

    I think that this thread is probably past saving, so I will try and engage enough people to carry on this off topic discussion long enough for it to be moved to discussion time, deleted or locked.

    Damn I didn't realise it was as much as all that.
    I bet EVERY TAXPAYER reading this feels like a complete mug:mad:

    Do you think I could make friends with her & she could teach me how to become a landlord/property tycoon on the social:rolleyes:

    OK Thanks for that.
    What about DHSS fraud? Do you know the rules for that? Just out of curiosity?
  • Did you all know that message board harrassment or bullying is now an arrestable offence?

    no I did not :eek:..that is interesting, but to be honest I do not see anything that anyone has said as harrassment or bullying. All posts have been in response to admissions made by Miss K that have made us stare in disbelief at our screens! I have never done anything dishonest in my entire life ...to be arrested for sticking up for the masses who pay their taxes, have real disabilities, and who are outraged at others who blatantly admit that they have a system of how to claim the benefits even if they do not have symptoms would be an interesting experience!
    The world has gone PC mad.

    Bullies rarely see wrong in what they are doing, they tend to be of similar mind and 'thank' each other for posting off topic and offensive posts.

    I must admit that I didn't know that you didn't mention that you had been to see and assess the OP's condition and lack of a disability. It is something you should have informed us of earlier.
