    He's 19 now. They are on disability benefits. I haven't met them so I have no idea what sorts of disabilities. I got a whole spiel about those benefits and housing benefits and wished I'd never asked :o

    As I said, he not a bad lad but I'm keeping an open mind as to whether he actually wants to work or not?
    Where I work is the most laid back, do as much as you can or want and get paid for it place possible! I really thought I was offering him a good opportunity :o there's not many rules. You can drink as much tea and coffee as you like whilst getting trained by some of the best people available to be trained by.

    Oh and here we go! right on cue.......a text 'can I stay out til half past'

    It is sad the system works that way.

    This is the opposite but have always felt sorry for their position.

    My mum's friend well into her 80s limited income only basic pension, has a son with learning difficulties but not enough to be classed as disabled I think as they do not get benefits for him. He gets jobs doing leaflet distribution and paper rounds and is nearly 60. Takes him hours as he walks oddly. :o

    Because he has always lived with his mum she does not get full council tax benefit and I guess must miss out on other help too. They have always really struggled. :(

    Cling film I think, then placed in a paper bag.
