If you think someone can just walk into any temp job in this country just like that in the economic climate as it is,you are truly deluded.

Really my niece got 2 temp jobs recently. If you think it's not possible then you are saying ops family came here to claim benefits.

Not really
I have done various PT courses myself at Edinburgh Uni
These can be done for credit by completing essays & exam in the 13th week
or without credit missing the 13th week

I think we might be using the term Adult Education differently - in England it normally covers leisure classes.

Sorry

No need to apologise to me - although you might want to consider apologising to other people.

When I am at work I am not allowed to even use the internet during working hours, let alone submit 12 posts a day

Nor am I. I do, however, post in the morning before work, in my lunch break and after work. More at weekends.

ILW did explain why he can though as he is self employed. He is very fortunate.

Yes he did - and I explained that his post count is not particulaly high. You should have done your sums before having an unnecessary dig.

Who are you anyway? his wife?

Have you even bothered to read all 13 pages of this thread? just jumped in out of nowhere.

I don't have to apologise to anyone. Certainly not to ILW after the way he treated the Op. Posters should use there time posting offering help and advice not being judgemental.

If you read back all the pages I was defending the OP as I felt she was being picked on.

Hi shazm.69,

I just want to say sorry if I have derailed your thread and going off topic.

But I am one of these people who will not sit by and watch someone being bullied like you have been on here. And I will stick up for myself too at the same time.

Sometimes you just have to stand up and be counted for what you believe in.

I do hope you and your family have a good year this year and hope things work out for you! xx

Yes I agree with you. Its those same few that need to stop bringing posters down just because they need advice about certain benefits etc. You would think they were accusing you of a major crime or something?!lol

I have been a member of other forums in the past and have met some lovely people but I have never come across a forum where posters can be so spiteful and nasty such as this one.

The one where you say they get full benefits, crisis loans, help to furniture the home they have been given all backdated is expected.

Unless its child number 3 no one is likely to mind. Everyone is expecting the former, perhaps it's a nice suprise and your son in law has a £35k job

First of all, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has derailed the thread with their thoughts on the morality of whether they should or shouldn't be entitled to benefits. Of course, I have my own opinion, however it's all rather irrelevant.

So, to try and move this thread forwards, let me pose a few questions for the OP.

1) What would your daughter like the outcome of the situation to be? Does she want to be working whilst her partner looks after the kids? Does he want to work whilst she looks after the kids? This is, of course, working on the assumption that one of them has to work, or at least be looking for work, in order to pass a habitual residency test.

2) Assuming that the above is correct and one (or both) of them is looking for work, have either of them attempted to claim JSA? If so, what was the outcome of the claim?

3) You stated that your daughter had tried to claim habitual residency but this had been turned down as she has not been here long enough? However, length of residency is not a condition of passing the test. You simply need to prove that you have an intention to stay.

4) Which professional agencies has she been in touch with for advice? Has she contacted any or all of the following; CAB, Social Services, her local councillors/MP? If not, why not?

5) Looking slightly longer term, has she located an area that she would like to live in in which there is a relative availability of properties that fall under the limit available for local housing allowance? I'm presuming the children are both under ten so she would be eligible for the two bedroom rate.

As I said, much as I'd love to get into the rights and wrongs of the situation, that's not actually going to change how it is. So, let's look at a way of actually getting you the correct advice and support in order to move things forward.
