    But it doesn't matter why she handed in her notice, that part of the OP wasn't necessary. This forum is supposed to be about giving people advice on their entitlement without judging.

    She handed in her notice, 3 children under 16, and a husband who works 35 hours a week that earns £24k. That's what the replies should be based on.


    So, just to be clear, you wouldn't be any way judgemental if I came on here saying that I had never worked a day in my life and had no intention of doing so and that I wanted to milk the benefit system for every penny I could get? I had 5 kids and I want the state to pay for them. I had no intention of contributing anything but wanted advice from you on how to claim the most I could. You wouldn't form a judgement based on that?

    That wouldn't be a typical post that receives judgemental replies.
    Typical posts are, these are my circumstances, what can I claim? That's the purpose of this board.

    TBH, I would think that's a troll post.

    One of the reasons this board attracts troll posters is because they know they will get a reaction from others. If everyone just replied to the facts, the trolls would soon get bored.

    People can judge without posting what they think.
