    Only ESA, HB (social housing), DLAM, DLAC, CTS, free transport and £250 a week in direct payments.

    Call the baby nannytone and you'll be raking it in.

    Really?! Nannytone gets all those benefits?

    I think I'm doing this all wrong.

    Yes, on another thread she was even boasting about her gym membership and her quick flat transfer to avoid the effects of HB cuts. The benefits system is so unfair, some people are struggling to eat whilst others are better off than many who work full time.
  • Does yours or your wife's employer offer child care vouchers?

    Ohhhh nannytone,

    Looking at some of your posts, am I right in thinking that YOU claim several benefits/handouts from the state?

    Yet this 'culture of entitlement' is my fault?

    Wow. Just, wow.
    and if you read my other posts more thoroughly, you will also see that i worked and paid into the system for 30 years as well.
    i was a single parent who worked full time and received BO benefits apart from child benefit.
    one of the #handouts' i receive is one that people in work can also receive, regardless of income. even millionaires can claim it.

    it is irrelevant what someone pays into the system through taxation as benefits, in the main, are based on income.
    insurance is available for people that wish to have children and suffer no financial implications due to maternity leave.
    on such a good joint income maybe the OP should have looked into this opryib?

    if youre suggesting that the OP would like my benefits, then perhaps you should have also said that the babt will also need to be blind.
    i vet that isnt so appealing ....

    yes, if your baby is blind you will get extra benefit regardless of income.
    is that a trade off 5that appeals to you?

    you consider me to be better off?
    how exavtly?
    i have £100 a week ( now that i no longer have to top up HB)
    compared to someone on JSA, i am better off, but hardly an amount that affords any degree of 'lifestly ( as benefits shouldnt)
