    Sad state of affairs when you have to ask how much will my claim against taxpayers be affected before deciding whether to work.

    My advice is take the job,also get your wife to find a job.

    You will find that not only are you better off ,but you will gain greater self esteem.

    I agree with you IF that is the case but tubby210 did not say that he wasn't going to take the job - he may just want to work out figures to see where he stands??
