Changing From Disabled Benefits to JSA

OP..... as you have found out, once you start pointing the finger at other disadvantaged groups.. seeing yourself as somehow 'more deserving', you quickly lose the high moral ground.
you do receive help and support as you receive both DLA and SDP .. both whilst your husband is working.
i am on income related ESA, but apart from basic english, maths and IT skills ( none of which i need), i also would have to pay for any courses that i felt like taking.
if i was lucky enough to find a braille course near enough ... i would have to pay for that too.
i and many others who have posted, have disabilities that restrict our activites, and sadly, that is just a part of some peoples lives.
to point out that others have easier lives ( 17 year old single mums and asylum seekers... though i doubt any of them would agree) doesnt help you at all and just makes you appear bitter and greedy

I don't think they have easier lives, nor am I pointing the finger, I am merely highlighting the people who get help offered to them on a plate.

Welcome to the real world. You have a partner who works, who can support you financially or at least help to.

Thousands have had to go through appeals and tribunals to get even basic benefits to allow them to pay rent, eat, heat, and literally exist.

You sound like a grumpy sod OP, and your previous threads just add to that.

Oh and there is work out there for someone who has sensory disabilities - I am partially sighted and have a congenital hearing defect - I worked for 13 years, and have taken a year off (with just my DLA which I would get anyway) to complete my uni studies; I was born with the deafness, but I started going blind only 4 years ago (I'm 29) so can be hard to cope with, but I don't sit on my bum all day and make excuses. I also used to work with a lovely lady who was completely blind and partially deaf who loved her job.

There's nothing to stop you getting a job by the way; access to work will help an employer put in place reasonable adjustments, you can get help to and from work, and support in work as well - just seems like you're too bone idle to do it. There's also plenty of charities and other not-for-profits who help to find work for us, but again you seem really nasty, resentful and spiteful.

I am not a grumpy sod. This thread has turned personal now and I find that rather unnecessary. You can post all you like after this but I won't bother to respond.

But you are wrongly 'highlighting' people. The only free courses asylum seekers receive are ESOL courses, in the same way that UK citizens can receive free Essential Skills courses. Otherwise, all educational fees are the same, if not more expensive, as asylum seekers often pay International, not Home fees.

Single, teenage mothers are also liable for educational fees, but in some cases may be able to continue receiving certain benefits that they are already claiming.
