I hear you when you say that you don't want to be on benefits, but as a working person, you would be on TAX CREDITS (money back from the Taxman, yay!) and as a disabled person you would be entitled to DLA, which is ther to make sure that things DON'T get too much for you so that you CAN keep on working. On a rough calculation, you are entitled to £561 per month made up from DLA and Tax Credits. If you don't claim them, it doesn't help anyone else, it sits in the ;'unclaimed benefit' loop. Claim it. It's yours BY RIGHT. Be proud of your independance, and your contribution to society.0

The benefits that your not claiming, are getting you into debt. The debt is stressful and will get you down. This it seems to me will affect your ability to work (which is what you want to do most). That being the case claiming benefits your are entitled to is a no brainer for me. Claim benefits, less worry about debt = staying in your job for longer
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
