    Probably best not to 'bite' (so to speak) at his posts - maybe he/she would then get bored. ;)

    Ole willie is getting tiresome and dreary, his multiple AE's are soooooo samey....Socc was much more fun...what happened to Socc?

    OK, time to be a little more honest seeing that you are the first to accept that the level of benefit income is more than possible.

    Wife - AA (HRC)
    Self - DLA (MRC & HRM)

    Wife - Carers Allowance for self (underlying entitlement only)
    Self - Carers Allowance for wife (underlying entitlement only)

    Wife - State Retirement Pension
    Self - Contribution Based ESA (SG) (only for the purposes of having underlying entitlement to Carers Allowance instead of it actually being paid)

    Self - Private pensions

    Claimed Pension Credit - one over State Retirement Pension date the other not.

    Given those facts I am sure that you will be able to work out the rest.

    The end result gives a minimum income of £407.65pw (exclusive of DLA & AA)
    Plus 100% CTS - worth £31.84pw
    Plus AA £79.15pw
    DLA £108.25 pw

    Which brings the total to £626.89pw equal to £44,500 pa.Gross

    If working I would have to have a salary of £61,000pa before costs of £800 a month for running and owning a second car to match what we currently get. Hence a salary of up to £100,000pa would only make work worthwhile - increasing our income over what we get already by £1882 a month (£22584 a year) out of the £100,000 earned! Is it really worth the effort, hard work and stress to be better off by 22% of my gross salary?

    I doubt many people would want to work for that level of income yet be only 22% better off out of it.


    Our home is fully paid for.

    I don't and won't apologise for what we get. The law says that we are legitimately entitled to it.[/QUOTE


    How did you get in the Support group in the space of under three months, amazing.
    You clearly need some support and help


    Just be grateful for what you are getting if you are getting it :) and shut up and stop sticking it down peoples throats.
    What are you trying to achieve with all of this.?


    To be honest the amount you receive Wilber is chicken feed to the amount some get, but they are not on here bragging are they.
    But given their circumstances I would say money isnt everything

    So get over it, and who has asked you to apologize for the amount you receive , no one.

    What exactly do you think or believe I am up to?

    There certainly is no question of fraud or deception involved - all of the claims have been awarded on the strength of the evidence supplied.

    On the other hand, maybe you just don't think it is right that people on benefits can and do receive a considerable income.
    If they do, they should be investigated? Jealousy!!

    But then on the other hand - what is fact and what is fiction??

    For all - what I have posted so far could actually be a load of BS!!! You know me.

    Never mind, I have enjoyed the past few days winding you all up - it passes time. Will be back shortly with more amusing tales that may be true but on the other hand may not be.

    Bye everyone bye!

    Has anyone actually been wound up? Or just slightly bored?

    I'm getting bored with the willber AE now. :( We've had posts about the brother, with an MA, who committed manslaughter, one SIL a solicitor, one an architect, willber's currently claiming DLA HRM, then planning to claim HRM, cos 20% of his estate claim and cars are expensive. :eek: And he could walk into jobs paying only slightly less than the PM tomorrow, should he so wish.;)

    He hasn't worked for years/he gave up work in February - Andy never made glaring errors like that! Or admitted that some of his posts were fabricated. :D

    In my first job, the office manager was a weedy little bully of a man, who enjoyed reducing new juniors to tears. After a few months, the juniors, myself included, realised what a nasty piece of work he was, and would just ignore him and his moods.

    At the office party I met his wife. It was obvious that he used the office to throw his weight around, cos he was denied this luxury at home, and perhaps that's what people who invent things on the forums do.

    I wish you well willber, but could Andy not do a Lazarus? ;)

    hahahaha I do like that. Unfortunately there is no comparison.

    Well, at least you've had the grace to admit "it's a fair cop guv". :D It's just a shame that you can't channel your vivid imagination and creative writing skills into producing a best seller, or ...................... are you really James Patterson?

    Thanks to your posts as bigboybrother, I always imagined him wearing a cowboy hat, strumming his guitar, chewing on a wad of baccy, with a stringy beard, and greying pony tail, but thinning on top. ;)

    Lady Mo (shame, such a brief walk-on part) had a Penelope Keith air about her, and would probably have declared, a la Dame Edith Evans, "a handbag?" :rotfl:.

    Rotoguys was, in my eyes, a rotund, busy little man, who had to have all his pencils sharpened to lethal points, and lined up on the picnic table in the spare bedroom, but would call out to Mrs Rotoguys "just going into my study Beryl, to claim a few more benefits - I shall be some time".

    But Andy :smileyhea - he will never be forgotten, and Andy-was-my-Father was a gem. :T No doubt we'll see you around soon. :)

    Sure you do. They give you yet another chance to benefit-bash, even after you've finally realised you've been trolled. And you probably approve of his little project.

    I would say I despise him. But I do know he needs help.

    Nope don't ever troll - just dislike paying lifestyle choices. His/her posts prove this situation is possible and opens my eyes to what levels of benefits exist.
